Review of Street of Shame (1956) by Eric R — 27 Jan 2009
A beautiful portrait of female prostitutes struggling with life in Tokyo's red light district. Its a really strong story; every character has considerable depth and we follow them through there various struggles, whether it be economic or spiritual.
I love how Mizoguchi shows all the horrible things they go through but at the same times really questions if they are better off being a prostitute. It is definetly a thorough examination.
