Description:One of a string of late-career masterworks made by Kenji Mizoguchi in the early 1950s, A Story from Chikamatsu (a.k.a. The Crucified Lovers) is an exquisitely moving tale of forbidden love struggling to survive in the face of persecution. Based on a classic of eighteenth-century Japanese drama, the film traces the injustices that befall a Kyoto scroll maker's wife and his apprentice after each is unfairly accused of wrongdoing. Bound by fate in an illicit, star-crossed romance, they go on the run in search of refuge from the punishment prescribed them: death. Shot in gorgeous, painterly style by master cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa, this subtly sensuous indictment of societal oppression was heralded by Akira Kurosawa as a great masterpiece that could only have been made by Mizoguchi.
"Story From Chikamatsu," also known as "The Crucified Lovers," is a classic Japanese drama directed by the legendary Kenji Mizoguchi, now available in stunning Blu-Ray format from Criterion. Set in 18th-century Kyoto, this poignant tale explores themes of forbidden love and societal constraints through the tragic story of Mohei and Osan. The film is celebrated for its exquisite cinematography and emotional depth, hallmarks of Mizoguchi's style. Criterion, renowned for their meticulous restorations and high-quality releases of world cinema classics, ensures that every detail shines on this edition. Leading actor Kazuo Hasegawa was one of Japan?s most prominent stars with acclaimed performances in films like "Gate of Hell." Co-star Kyoko Kagawa has been lauded for her roles in Akira Kurosawa?s "High and Low" and Yasujiro Ozu?s "Tokyo Story." Director Kenji Mizoguchi remains an icon whose masterpieces such as "Ugetsu" have influenced generations worldwide.
