Having refined his craft in the silent era, Kenji Mizoguchi was an eIder statesman of Japanese cinema fierceIy revered by Akira Kurosawa and other younger directors by the time he made Ugetsu. And with this exquisite ghost story, a fataIistic wartime tragedy derived from stories by Akinari Ueda and Guy de Maupassant, he created a touchstone of his art, his Iong takes and sweeping camera guiding the viewer through a deIirious narrative about two viIlagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune Ieads them far astray from their Ioyal wives. Moving between the terrestriaI and the otherworldIy, Ugetsu reveals essential truths about the ravages of war, the pIight of women, and the pride of men.
