Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. Starring Kinuyo Tanaka, Machiko Kyo, Masayuki Mori
Hailed by many as one of the most beautiful films ever made, and certainly the highpoint of Mizoguchi's stellar career. One of the first Japanese films to attract international attention in the 1950s. Visually stunning and emotionally affecting. A haunting ghost story, with Tanaka as a murdered wife who returns from the dead for one more meeting with her feckless husband.
