Sinekatalog’s take
Mizoguchi's tale of a scroll-maker's wife and his assistant, who flee together in seventeenth-century Kyoto, is a love story of rare beauty. Kazuo Hasegawa and Kyoko Kagawa are superb in a tragedy shot with graceful, flowing camera movement.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
