Late mizoguchi eight films 1951 1956 w 4 x booklets 8 disc.

Electronics leisure 2023 film serie: Kenji Mizoguchi looms over the history not only of Japanese cinema -- but of world cinema altogether. These eight films from the last decade of Mizoguchi s career represent a collection of eight of his greatest works which is to say eight of the greatest films ever made.

Oy -sama 1951 is an adaptation of Tanizaki Jun ichir . a poignant tale of two sisters and their ill-fated relationship with the same man.

a tale of the social mores and affairs of the heart that might destroy siblings. Ugetsu monogatari 1953 a ghost-tale par excellence and one of the most highly acclaimed works of the cinema is an intensely poetic sublimely lyrical tragedy of men lured away from their wives which consistently features on polls of the best films ever made.

Gion-bayashi 1953 is a drama set in the world of the geisha a subtle masterwork that yields myriad insights into the lives of Japan s service-class in the early 50s. Sansh -day 1954 recounts an unforgettably sad story of the 11th century involving kidnapping and indentured servitude and figures again with its exquisite tone and purity of emotion as one of the most critically revered films of any era.

Uwasa no onna 1954 another Mizoguchi picture set in a modern geisha house pits mother against daughter with the ensuing drama forcing both to confront their attitudes toward family and business in what is one of the filmmaker s most astute filmic examinations of oppressed femininity. Chikamatsu monogatari 1954 the tragic story of a forbidden love affair between a merchant s wife and her husband s employee was hailed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa as a great masterpiece that could only have been made by Mizoguchi.

Y kihi 1955 recounts an 8th-century Chinese story of a widowed emperor and his imperial concubine filmed in sumptuous hallucinatory Agfa-stock colour. Akasen-chitai 1956 aka Street of Shame is Mizoguchi s final masterpiece and one of the greatest last films ever made depicting the goings-on in a Tokyo brothel carrying the name Dreamland where dreams are nevertheless shattered beneath the weight of financial necessity and all questions of conscience a last testament which inspired the great French critic Jean Douchet to proclaim.

For me along with Chaplin s Monsieur Verdoux and Renoir s La R gle du jeu the greatest film in the history of the cinema. SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDING.
