Citizen Kane & Rashamon

Both films used multiple perspectives very well, all toward revealing something that serves the plot, though each used this technique differently. Citizen Kane has different people telling different accounts of Charles' life, all leading toward the revealing of the Rosebud plot device, while Rashamon has four accounts on one event, the murder of a samurai, but not aiming to reveal a profound truth, rather not being restrained by one truth, but trying to show that there are different, not necessarily correct truths.
