Mizoguchi's Greatest Decade
Chikamatsu Monogatari aka A Tale From Chikamatsu
Japan
| 1954 | Kenji Mizoguchi
Mizoguchi’s exquisite, heartbreaking adaptation of a 17th-century puppet theater play by Chikamatsu Monzaemon (Japan’s Shakespeare) tells of two illicit lovers who flee their wrathful society, but later return to face the music. Masterfully photographed by Kazuo Miyagawa, this movie is ranked by some Japanese critics as the director’s best.
