The tragedy of the Heian period, the forced separation of families under the times, the pursuit of human rights.

Mizoguchi's character-building skills are very deep in this later work. At the beginning, he used multiple reverse-order narratives to form the character of the chef king. Although the...

Very rare, CC chose Mizoguchi's "Doctor Sanjiao" in 2007. Although this is a work with a completely different style from other Mizoguchi films, its great practical significance and deep historical lessons are worthy of CC's choice. This is a tragedy! A complete tragedy! The tragedy of a family,...

"Doctor Sansho" is the third film I watched at this festival. Although it is a black and white film from 1954, it can be shot so delicately. Shots and composition are perfect. The acting of the old actors is absolutely superb. Obviously it is a long and complex story, but it is very clear and...

Text / Fleeting World  At first I thought it was a story of Bethune or a story of a genius doctor hanging a pot to save the world. After entering the film, I found that the pronunciation of the word "big" is da instead of dai. Mr. Mizoguchi Kenji can be said to be the soul of Japanese movies, good...

What is unacceptable is that the long shot of Mizoguchi's fixed camera seems to have no expression of position. As a result, I, as the audience, seem to be a part of it, and the soldering iron of the person who wants to escape seems to be hot. is held in my hand. The final imprint is more like...

Kenji Mizoguchi's "Doctor Sansho" is one of the best in Japanese film history, and the film is rarely named after its villain, rather than any sympathetic character. The mustache slave owner Sanjiao is at the heart of the film's two journeys—one toward him and one...

I saw this movie by chance, and the latest movie review was a few years ago, but I still couldn't help recording my thoughts and some immature questions. After watching the movie's pretty happy ending, what I wanted to know even more was what happened to the slaves when they were freed, after their...

The Chef King is neither like his father, who disobeyed his orders and let his boss deal with him, nor did he become the second Sanjiao doctor. After igniting a Spartacus fire, he regained his status as a commoner, and he was not greedy for a prominent position—in fact, after losing power, he could...

"This is not the best work of Kenji Mizoguchi" This is not only my personal opinion, but also the opinion of the assistant director of the film. There is an interview with the assistant director about the film's creative process on the DVD, which is worth watching. According to the assistant...

This film reflects the dark society scene at the end of the Heian era with the desolate situation of a family being forced to be separated and broken in a chaotic world. Mizoguchi Kenji expressed the theme of freedom and equality in "Sansho Doctor". The plot mainly revolves around how the...
