The basic idea of "Rashomon" -- the same event told in flashbacks from different perspectives -- fuels this story of Luca killing a man. The man, a distraught husband, had carried a .25 five-bullet automatic pistol up to his wife's lover's apartment and shot the lover (one bullet), one at a cop in a hallway (two), and two more out a window at the S.W.A.T. team (four). When he takes the wife downstairs to a cellar, Luca is waiting with his rifle and drops him in his tracks. The question remains now -- did the gunman fire the final bullet at Luca (Luca's version) -- did Luca fire on him without provocation (which is what the wife thinks) -- or was the last bullet a dud that didn't detonate (which is what a photographer trailing Luca thinks)? |
