Movie Review - Utamaro and His Five Women
Utamaro o meguru gonin no onna (1946)
directed by Kenji Mizoguchi
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on VHS from Black Lodge Video
From title to closing image, this is probably as close as the Japanese ever got to the earnest innocence of loving women completely and without adulation, putting their happiness and ruin in the path of a man whose hands are literally tied.
