Summary:
"Over the course of a three-decade, more than eighty film career, master cineaste
Kenji
Mizoguchi
(Ugetsu, Sansho the Bailiff) would return again and again to one abiding theme: the plight of
women
in male-dominated Japanese society. In these four lacerating works of socially conscious melodrama -- two prewar (Osaka Elegy, Sisters of the Gion), two postwar (
Women
of the Night, Street of Shame) --
Mizoguchi
introduces an array of compelling female protagonists, crushed or resilient, who are economically and spiritually deprived by their nation'
s
customs and traditions. With
Mizoguchi
's visual daring and eloquence, these films are as cinematically thrilling as they are politically rousing. [Films include] Osaka Elegy (Naniwa ereji): Switchboard operator Ayako (Isuku Yamada) agrees to enter into an affair with her married boss after he promises to support her and her father -- setting her off on a seemingly irreversible downward spiral. Sisters Of The Gion (Gion no shimai): Two geisha sisters -- one modern-minded, the other staunchly traditional -- disagree over how to deal with the men controlling their lives and livelihoods in
Mizoguchi
's early masterpiece.
Women
Of The Night (Yoru no onnatachi): This ragged, searing melodrama about postwar degradation in Japan centers on three
women
, abandoned by society, whose only survival option is to compromise their bodies and souls. Street Of Shame (Akasen chitai): In a brothel in Tokyo'
s
red-light district, a group of working
women
, their profession on the verge of being outlawed, deal with life'
s
disappointments, large and small. This beautiful, humane film was
