Victor Erice on Kenji Mizoguchi: “Kenji Mizoguchi was, first of all, an outstanding poet who was able to express, with a fertile imagination and a sincere human profundity, the moral drama of his own generation. The destruction, the dreams, the forbidden loves which flow through his films are about the crisis of consciousness in modern Japan.” The Life of Oharu’ (1952) Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi | History of Cinema
