1. The music is appropriate to the circumstances. 2. The disposition of life manifests itself in seemingly casual details. 3. The quiet movement of the camera takes over the historical time and the real time, and also connects the human world and the underworld space. 4. The "lake water" was built in a studio, and the "fog" was blown out by a fan. 5. The film conveys an upward value, educating but not pretending. 6. "The Story of the Rain Moon" is a bizarre novel written by Ueda Akina in the Edo period of Japan. Kenji Mizoguchi selected two of them - "The Prostitution of Snakes" and "Asakusa No Place" to make this film.

    Mizoguchi Kenji mixed two stories of Ueda Akisari in "The Story of the Rainy Moon": "Sleeping in a Deserted House" and "The Prostitution of Snakes". The principle of causal reincarnation has been faded away, and the struggle and sense of existence of "people" have been strengthened. Floating life is a dream, but unfortunately the film is not as exciting as expected.
