MAN OF CINEMA
Mizoguchi tells a bleak tale of despair, depravity of freedom, humanity and the
merciless world of slavery in feudal japan.
Film with its long takes and artistic approach creates the most devastatingly moving and heavy film to watch and endure.
It's the most simplest of things in life which comes across as the most hard to have for some. Mizoguchi projects these aspects of life in such a beautiful and heartbreaking manner. All the emotions hit at once. The ending of the film is truly remarkable and emotionally unbearable.
