Rashomon Trivia - Did You Know?

Most Japanese critics called the film a failure: it failed in "visualizing the style of the original stories," was "too complicated," "too monotonous," and contained "too much cursing". When it received positive responses in the West, Japanese critics were baffled. Japanese audiences were shocked at two places in the film. The first occurred when the medium speaks using the dead man's voice and words. The other shocking scene occurs when the woman begs her assailant to kill her husband and safeguard her own honor. That level of blatant self-preservation was not previously viewed in Japanese films.
