Film Kenji Movie That Gained

But this epic portrait of an inexorable fall from grace, starring the astounding Kinuyo Tanaka as an imperial lady-in-waiting who gradually descends to street prostitution, was the movie that gained the director international attention, ushering in a new golden period for him.

But in the late 1940s, she was a personality offscreen as well, serving as Ja.

After an upbringing marked by poverty and abuse, Mizoguchi found solace in art, trying his hand at both oil painting and theater set design before, at the age of twenty-two in 1920, enrolling as an assistant director at Nikkatsu studios.

By the midthirties, he had developed his craft by directing dozens of movies in a variety of genres, but he would later say that he didnt consider his career to have truly begun until 1936, with the release of the companion films Osaka Elegy and Sisters of the Gion, about women both professionally and romantically trapped.

Japanese film historian Donald Richie called Gion one of the best Japanese films ever made.

That film paved the road to half a decade of major artistic and financial successes for Mizoguchi, including the masterful ghost story Ugetsu (1953) and the gut-wrenching drama Sansho the Bailiff (1954), both flaunting extraordinarily sophisticated compositions and camera movement.

In their hunt for Masayuki Sanada, who is protected by both an army and a dangerous clan, they meet Ginkaku.

A deadly weapon in her own right, she learns the gruesome truth about the death of her beloved mother and joins forces with a mysterious rebel leader.

Kanzaki reluctantly agrees, but when they bring the corpse out to the country they discover hes not actually dead at all.

A beautiful young woman is raised from birth with nine other orphans, to become an assassin.

When Nagato visits the assassins in the abandoned shrine, the cameramans shadow is visible as the camera moves.

Its like comparing KILL BILL with RESERVOIR DOGS just because Tarentino directed both films.

While VERSUS is a drawn (way) out, laughable, mindless, B-rated zombieaction spoof, AZUMI is a very serious swordplaymartial arts film about a band of teenagers trained from a young age to assassinate those who would start another bloody civil war.

I could easily figure out that this was a Kitamura film by spotting out similarites between this and his past films.

But this is all slowed down by overexaggerated acting, god awful dialogue, and sometimes, AZUMI is just plain melodramatic.

Like BATTLE ROYALE, AZUMI has one too many mushy mushy scenes.

Another Kitamura trademark is how this film is way too drawn out.

Just when you think Wow, such a perfect ending, Kitamura ends AZUMI off with 10 more minutes of footage that is a bad attempt at making a cliffhanger finish.

Azumi, herself, kicks so much ass, and is brilliant in her performance.

My favorite scene being when the group is arguing over what to do with their poisoned comrad.

I give AZUMI an 8 out of 10 and is up there with some of my all time favorite Asian films.
