The images of B/Mizoguchi are still extraordinary. Desolate nature and purgatory world, time and space interlace poetry and painting, and give actors a simple space. But the second half of the play failed. After the most secluded plot point, a large fault is formed due to the rapid switching of character identities, and the returning emotions at the end are also a bit timid. Perhaps it is the mistake of too much adherence to the concept of the times in the adaptation of folk tales, and it is better to fully resort to the expression of folk emotions without providing excessive solutions.
