Director: Kenji Mizoguchi
Description:
'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 Ueda 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.
