Review of Sisters of the Gion (1936) by Andy P — 27 Dec 2013
The life of two sisters working in the licensed redlight district of Kyoto. One of the most impactful and realistic films of pre-war Japan that regardless of its brevity manages to squeeze in a remarkable amount of Japanese culture of the time and denounce the treatment of women.
Mizoguchi strengthens his style of fixed long shots and long sequence takes to portray his story.
