    The tempo was a bit slow at first, but it was very fascinating at the back. The effect of kneading two stories together is also fine. After reading a few Mizoguchi, the female characters in it are too selfless and humble, which is lamentable. Even if the film is a ghost story, the woman in it is the same: the beautiful lady who turns into a ghost prays for a little bit of love, and the wife who waits for her husband to return home remains loyal to her death. #Repaired...

    a moral film

    "The Story of the Rain Moon" (1953) Mizoguchi Kenji, Mizoguchi knows the use of sound too much, and the whole film uses sound to guide the narrative progress several times (such as the gunshots in the opening, the sound of war in the middle.). It not only improves the poetry of the space but also...
