Very good adaptation from the short story; a more realistic version. Interesting to compare with the original to see how time put its weight on the plot. Rumor has that Mizoguchi did not like the story himself; I can suspect several changes that did not come from his...

1. The picture is very beautiful, both indoor and outdoor. In the interior, their home, Dr. Sansho's home, is beautiful with its thick wood and simple decoration. 2. Really good people entered the wolf's den, and the four mothers and daughters were rewritten by human traffickers. 3. Luckily for my son, the petition was handled and rehabilitated. Fortunately, it was not dark all day, at least there was a little...

One of the Japanese film masters who is good at long shots and panoramic shots, and has more realistic descriptions of women on the edge of society. This film depicts the conflict between the lower class and the upper class through the comparison of the chef king's fate before and after. The protagonist went from fleeing to slavery to becoming a manager, and the transformation of character and identity. Why did the crying girl find her...

The whole society doesn't look like a period drama at all. After all, the rich people don't dare to mess with Guan Bai. It's nothing. Instead, it's the role of the chef king. It's changed too fast. I've been a stunner since I was a child. In comparison, it's too far from my sister's plump... In the end, it's always women who...

Without the Sissi, Ozu and Hitchcock series, seeing black and white on the big screen at the festival would be content. Always have compassion, the world, like us, is getting better and better in the twists and turns. 2018.6.17@Majestic Theatre (The 21st Shanghai Film...

Relive it on the big screen in #SIFF#. The brilliance of the Eastern Lincoln Chef King is still overwhelmed by the sister and mother, two typical Mizoguchi female characters, who sacrificed everything for their families in exchange for the high-spirited revenge of the Chef King, in terms of technique and atmosphere (focus on the opening Night in the Mountains) Although not as good as other Mizoguchi's images, the emotions are very abundant, and the scene where the slaves suffered made the...

Up to the first 50 minutes#The feature film is not finished, then I listen to the commentary track of film critic Jeffrey: Mori Ou's 1915 original book is just one version of this legendary story with different versions; the priestess who took in a family and then abducted and sold the family with the boatman In the original book, it is a male businessman; the original book does not mention that the mother became a prostitute; the hierarchy and slavery system in Japan in the eighth century was...

This is one of the typical works where there is a difference between professional filmmakers and ordinary people watching...

It's still too sensational for me, and the narrative method is traditional, the characters are created in one plane, but the photography is exceptionally beautiful, and several shots with grass and branches as the frame foreground are particularly profound - linear narrative, variation, long shot...

Akira Kurosawa's famous Seven Samurai, but he didn't know that there was a heavy peasant theme like Dr. Sansho in the same year. In 1954, the land reform was over and the Cultural Revolution had not yet begun, but Japan produced such an excellent revolutionary theme, which should be related to Japan's post-war occupation by the United States, and a heavy criticism of the old...
