Directed by Akira Kurosawa, Rashomon is one of the most influential films in cinema history. Set in 12th-century Japan, it recounts a violent crime through four conflicting testimonies, each shaped by memory, ego and self-preservation. With its bold storytelling, striking compositions and philosophical depth, the film challenges our ideas of truth, justice and human nature.

Screened within the intimate setting of the Museum of East Asian Art, this special Movie at the Museum screening offers a rare chance to experience Kurosawa’s landmark work in a space that resonates deeply with its cultural and historical context, enriching both the film and the setting.

Standard: £15 | Open Concession: £12
