Uzumaki Story

Mizoguchi Kenji's camera technique is very beautiful, long-range long shots, slow panning, small scenes, one scene, one scene, no matter the picture and the dialogue, are all natural and harmonious. The ghostly fog, the creepy soundtrack, and the rhythm of the drums create a horror movie scene, but the audience has only sympathy and no fear. In the midst of war, it is a dream of Nanke that men are greedy for profit, and women have a deep sense of righteousness but suffer. In my opinion, the name "Story of the Rainy Moon" is a symbol of women. It is as moist as rain, as pure as the moon, as contentment as wisdom, and as good as water.

    #SIFF#Review 4K restoration; the translation of the long mirror is like an ink painting scroll, slowly unfolding the endless love and hatred in the troubled world, the candle illuminates the vanity and desire, the gentle homeland is not a dream of Nanke; the lake is full of water, the mist is filled, and the killing is strange like a dream; the soundtrack is full.

    Mizoguchi Kenji's "Strange Tan" is more realistic and natural than Kobayashi's. The "ghost" is the supporting role, the "human" has become the main body, the elements of horror and mystery are greatly reduced, and the "human" story complements it. A man who sleeps in a ghost house and abandons his wife and son can be forgiven by his wife’s undead; a woman who has been forgotten by her husband and turned into a prostitute also forgives her "samurai" husband; even ghosts pray for the love of men, which shows that in the movie Mizoguchi How humble of women are.
