Itinerary:

Tired of summer blockbusters? Join us for a refreshing change: a classic Japanese film, part of Cinematheque Ontario's retrospective of the films of director Kenji Mizoguchi.

From the Cinematheque web site:

"UGETSU invariably turns up on critics’ lists of the ten greatest films in the history of cinema. (Eric Rohmer recently chose it as his favourite Japanese film, as did numerous other directors, critics, and programmers.)

In a sixteenth-century village, a potter is seduced away by an exquisitely beautiful woman who turns out to be a phantom. Mizoguchi’s rigorous compositions and camerawork, his use of the mist-enshrouded landscape around Lake Biwa, the intense performances of two of Japan’s greatest actresses (Kyo and Tanaka), and the theme of the illusory nature of human ambition and desire: all contribute to a work of infinite beauty and significance. “Its stylistic perfection and the rich overtones of its theme make UGETSU one of the most beautiful films of all time” (Georges Sadoul). “Simultaneously realistic, allegorical and supernatural, UGETSU is the most stylistically perfect of all Mizoguchi’s work, and many critics consider it the greatest Japanese film ever made” (David L. Cook)."
