Extra-Infos: Kakuko Mori, Shotaro Hanayagi
Kenji Mizoguchi
Description:This heartrending masterpiece by Kenji Mizoguchi (Ugetsu) about the give-and-take between life and art marked the director's first use of the hypnotic long takes and eloquent camera movements that would come to define his films. The adopted son of legendary kabuki actor Kikunosuke (Shotaro Hanayagi), who is striving to achieve stardom by mastering female roles, turns to his infant brother's wet nurse (Kakuko Mori) for support and affection and she soon gives up everything for her beloved's creative glory. Featuring fascinating glimpses behind the scenes of kabuki theater in the late nineteenth century, The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum is a critique of the oppression of women and the sacrifices required of them, and the pinnacle of Mizoguchi's early career.
"The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum" on Blu-Ray from Criterion Collection is a masterful piece of Japanese cinema, directed by Kenji Mizoguchi in 1939. This poignant drama tells the story of Kikunosuke Onoe, a young kabuki actor struggling to find his own path and identity within the rigid traditions of his family and profession. The film is celebrated for its exquisite long takes, emotional depth, and sensitive portrayal of sacrifice and ambition. Criterion Collection?s edition offers a beautifully restored transfer that brings out the subtle visual artistry Mizoguchi was known for. Criterion Collection is renowned worldwide for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films with high-quality restorations, insightful supplements, and scholarly attention to detail. Their releases are prized by cinephiles seeking definitive editions. Director Kenji Mizoguchi stands as one of Japan's most influential filmmakers; his works such as "Ugetsu," "Sansho the Bailiff," and "The Life of Oharu" have left an indelible mark on world cinema with their humanist themes and innovative techniques. Lead actor Shôtarô Hanayagi delivers a nuanced performance as Kikunosuke; he was acclaimed in both stage and screen roles throughout his career. Supporting actress Kakuko Mori also shines in her role as Otoku, bringing warmth and resilience to her character.
