Director Kenji Mizoguchi was a peerless chronicler of the soul who specialized in supremely emotional, visually exquisite films about circumstances of women in Japanese society. He had been directing movies for decades when he made The Life of Oharu in 1952. Nonetheless, this epic portrait of an inexorable fall from grace, starring the astounding Khuyo Takana as an imperial lady-in-waiting who gradually descends to street prostitution, is the movie that gained the director international attention, ushering in a new golden period for him.
(1952, 136 minutes, in Japanese with English subtitles)
