Mizoguchi's Greatest Decade!
Tales Of The Taira Clan
Shin Heike Monogatari aka Taira Clan Saga
Japan
| 1955 | Kenji Mizoguchi
Mizoguchi’s sumptuous samurai saga (one of only two films he made in color) is set in feudal 12th-century Japan, where three factions (the samurai, the clerics, and the court) vie for control. Lavish sets, elaborate costumes, lush cinematography (by Kazuo Miyagawa), and armies of extras. “Arguably Mizoguchi’s best and the best of all films.” –Ian Cameron.
108 min. Subtitles. Imported 16mm print!
