UGETSU (1953, JAPAN)



My own personal March movie madness. My goal is make 31 posts in 31 days about 31 movies. They all must be non-U. S. films that I haven’t seen before. Why do I make this stipulation? Don’t know exactly, by we all have to have goals, don’t we?

Day twenty-four, from the Constitutional Monarchy of Japan
Ugetsu (1953)

Please excuse me, I'm trying to shake off my Red Sorghum hangover, so to speak. Anyway, moving on. I often have the fantasy about becoming a samurai or having a ghostly Oriental princess fall in love with me for my art. I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I'd like to see some more Mizoguchi. Or something like that. I just know I'm going to be a little punchy until I get to movie 31.
