Description

When an idealistic governor disobeys the reigning feudal lord, he is cast into exile, his wife and children left to fend for themselves and eventually wrenched apart by vicious slave drivers. Under Kenji Mizoguchi`s dazzling direction, this classic Japanese story became one of cinema`s greatest masterpieces, a monumental, empathetic expression of human resilience in the face of evil.

s/w
«Sansho Dayu» erzählt von einem Kinderpaar aus reichem Haus Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts, das dem Landvogt des Titels in die Hände fällt, der seinen Ruf als vorbildlicher Lehensherr der gnadenlosen Ausbeutung seines Sklavenheers verdankt. In langen getragenen Einstellungen erzählt Mizoguchi fliessend diese alte Legende von Not und Rache in Bildern so schön, dass man sich jedes einzelne davon rahmen und übers Bett hängen möchte.
