harwee h Jul 6 Fantastic movie, the movie that predates Citizen Kane in use of advanced techniques See more Kenneth P Dec 28 Everyone else has praised the story, so let me emphasize how the camera work uniquely exploits the architecture of the sets and spaces. The opening scene has no humans, only sounds in a space. Its like another character. .Watching this film will cange the way you see every other movie.

See more s r @ScottR 09/02/2020 Good for its time, but I struggled with this drama. Saw on HBO. See more 07/03/2016 This is a great film from the Master Kenji Mizoguchi and is now the 3 rd of his I've seen after "Sansho the Bailiff" and "Ugetsu". This is an earlier work of his, from 1936, but I was impressed by how stylishly shot it was and the solid camera work. It is an examination of double-standards as a young woman does everything/anything she can to help her family who are in financial trouble, and is cast out in disgrace as a result. The film is powerfully told and highly recommended!
