Rashomon

The general take

Spike Lee credits Rashomon as formative to his film education at NYU, saying the film made a significant impact on him by introducing international cinema and establishing the concept now known as the Rashomon effect, where the same event is described differently by multiple characters involved in a murder and rape.

  “In film school. In NYU. In graduate film school. You introduced a lot of international cinema. And Rashomon really made an effect on me. In this film. There's a murder and a rape in characters. You'd speak on it. In fact, that's where the term comes Rashomon effect.”
