Less concerned about the suffering of women than is usual for Mizoguchi, and is more about the perils of feudalism. The color is lovely, but I find it incongruous with Mizoguchi's style, and seems to undermine the seriousness of the proceedings (it also highlights the obvious cheapness of the sets). It's far from his best work, but it's satisfying enough. Machiko Kyo is wonderful as always, and her relationship with Masayuki Mori is quite touching.

Mizoguchi and his unfortunate women, this time in China(kind of). It's familiar ground but he does it so well it doesn't matter and this time it's in colour which, while faded, does make the visuals something special.
