Amazing Japanese ghost stories have a long history Mizoguchi completed a magical narrative in a single shot, breaking the spatial boundaries between reality and psychology A one-shot panorama movement Long-shot charm Dramatic single-scene settings explain the results, shake the camera away, poetic mood, scene narration, deep into the courtyard space, temptation under the dance of the long shot, and the ghost of the former king singing, the male protagonist is like a dream that can't be woken up, the montage in the long shot is from the mandarin ducks The bath shakes to two people playing by the lake. The time and space transition in the long shot The male protagonist often falls in the ghost time and space. He is like weightless in the desire. The two prostitutes betrayed themselves, the male lead was entangled by ghosts, possessed by a guilt spell, and the music became weird after being reminded by a Taoist priest. He escaped from the space and was captured with nothing to go home. Sleep well, light candles, sew clothes, and light from outside the house slowly enters the room. One shot shows the psychological shot of going to the wife's grave at the end of the day and inserting a re-selection back to the past. The last scene is a blend of true and false. As time progresses, the wife slowly returns to her husband (surreal) The sacrifice of women in exchange for the growth of men

    #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.
