Movie Reviews

Classic Film and Television - 10/10 by Michael E. GrostUneven film about the famous painter has interest, but is far from Mizoguchi's best.
User Review - 10/10 by David RStunning like all Mizoguchi--especially the brilliant compositions and stagings.
User Review - 8/10 by Art SA great film from Mizoguchi, who had to plead with the US censors to allow it to be made, dealing with the twin themes of the lowly position of women in Edo society, and the constraints forced on artists.
User Review - 8/10 by Andy PMizoguchi uses this period piece, perhaps his most autobiographical work, to tell a tale of artistic confinement that reflected the tensions of the time, working under the constant threat of censorship during post-war Japan.
User Review - 8/10 by James-Masaki RTakes a genuine effort to follow, because Mizoguchi assumes you're capable of doing so. The problem lies in the, at the end, less than overwhelming conclusion. The links between the emotional catharsis of the women and the intellectual one of the artist are linked but remain theoretical.
User Review - 8/10 by Alex CBoth an excellent study of the artistic spirit and a celebration of the fairer sex. Very good film.
User Review - 8/10 by Harry TThe story illustrates how artists can't stay true to themselves if they're restricted by guidelines and revolves around numerous love affairs that all have in common an obsession with beauty and a disregard for others' feelings.
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel MReally interesting; the film has several possible interpretations, and I'm probably missing a few more. There might well be something autobiographical going on here: Utamaro is shown as an artist inspired by the women around him, and the same could be said for Mizoguchi himself. There's quite a lot going on with the theme of engraving as a "vulgar" art compared to painting, as well as with the fact that Utamaro's work is literally constructed on the women's backs. I don't know enough about Japanese art history to be able to say much more, but on the whole the film is excellent. Fascinating, too, that this was made in 1946, with the Japanese film industry under very close supervision and censorship from the American occupation.
User Review - 6/10 by Matt MA famed 18th century Edo artist expresses his love for women through his painting. Mizoguchi once again returns to deal with his plea for equity of treatment for women whose feelings in this film are toyed with. However, the contrivance of the plot is sometimes uneasy to stand.
