Japan, 1953, Kenji Mizoguchi
The most celebrated work by Japanese master Kenji Mizoguchi; Masayuki Mori, Machiko Kyō, and Kinuyo Tanaka star; Kazuo Miyagawa did the sublime camerawork. “Simultaneously realistic, allegorical and supernatural, Ugetsu is the most stylistically perfect of all Mizoguchi’s work, and many critics consider it the greatest Japanese film ever made.” –David L. Cook. Subtitles. DCP. 96 min. www.janusfilms.com/films/1064
