0% Utamaro and His Five Women (1946) - Rated 18 Apr 2019
"Hard to follow and not all that engaging. There's glimpses of passion in the characters, but it's not enough."
0% Women of the Night (1948) - Rated 14 Apr 2019
"A raw portrayal of post-war Japan, in all its ugliness. Some sequences are particularly difficult to watch, but the performances are worth the discomfort."
0% Sansho the Bailiff (1954) - Rated 13 Apr 2019
"Majestic in its cruelty, but never mawkish. Mizuguchi's sense of space and pacing ensures a grip that would be lost in less capable hands."
0% The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (1939) - Rated 12 Apr 2019
"Primitive but engaging, with masterful economy. Benefits from a focused script, with every sequence—even the lavish kabuki performances—carrying the lovers' tragedy to a full conclusion."
0% You Can Count On Me (2000) - Rated 11 Apr 2019
"Sometimes hokey, but always honest. Each core character brings a subdued pathos that speaks to the prolonged wrestlings of the human heart."
0% Stalker (1979) - Rated 10 Apr 2019
"Masterful cinematography alone won't hold most viewers' attentions for such a laborious and deliberate excursion. The finale offers a glimpse of profundity, but much feels lost getting there."
0% Ugetsu (1953) - Rated 10 Apr 2019
"Visually interesting, but the drama is overwrought and occasionally plodding. A tighter script with more grounded characters and less side plot would have served its themes better."
