A brief review of the story of the rainy moon.

The day before yesterday, I went to see the Japanese film exhibition organized by claude, and watched Kenji Mizoguchi's Uzumaki Story.
The use of the lens is very oriental, stable and appropriate. However, since he accommodated a series of sports in the middle, he did not show his craftsmanship, and he was so gorgeous that he almost couldn't help clapping his hands.
The story is complicated and confusing, and it obviously absorbs the nutrition of Chinese ghost culture.
The concern for the fate of women in the film must have been really progressive at that time, and I wonder if it came from Mizoguchi's compatibility with Western culture.
What impressed me the most was the small boat traveling in the fog, which suddenly appeared in the fog and disappeared. Only two shots have made the atmosphere so eerie, and it still seems amazing.

    Having said that, the most miserable one is still women. Mizoguchi's lens language is so interesting, this film can be used as a textbook for new directors to learn for a year. The illusory elements added in the film are also very catching, and the two clues narratives are not messy at all. In the end, I was even moved to see, Mizoguchi Kenji. At the same time, Akira Kurosawa has "Seven Samurai", Ozu has "Tokyo Monogatari", Naruse has "Floating Clouds", and Mizoguchi is amazing!

    Japan's White Snake The estrangement between men and women speaks their own words The performance of the film itself is classical and elegant, but the expression of the female ghost is vague, and the ending is very poor. Into the peaceful family lair? The overall story is too thin and barely 4 stars
