Kenji Mizoguchi - 1955
In colour? Whatever next. Pretty well lit, I rather liked the paleness in the whole situation; especially in the water, and the bathing pools, and the bathing robes.
Sacrifice is centered here. It is at once political, but really I felt more of the pull of the personal here; ideas of transformation, who one is really connected to, and the love that crosses all, across real time, across cuts of the cinema.
