UGETSU - CRITERION COLLECTION (1953)

Details

• Release Year: 1953
• Genre: Drama, Fantasy, War
• Plot: 'Quite simply one of the greatest of filmmakers,' said Jean-Luc Godard of Kenji Mizoguchi. And Ugetsu, a ghost story like no other, is surely the Japanese director's supreme achievement. Derived from stories by Akinari Uedu and Guy de Maupassant, this haunting tale of love and loss - with its exquisite blending of the otherworldly and the real - is one of the most beautiful films ever made.
