#364 - Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu Monogotari - WatchThis W/RickRamos

<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Ghosts of the Pale & Shadowy Moon After the Rain: Kenji Mizoguchi's <em>Ugetsu Monogotari</em></strong></span></p> <p>This week Mr. Chavez & I have the pleasure of discussing one of the great films of Cinema, Kenji Mizoguchi's 1953 Masterpiece, <em><strong>Ugetsu Monogotari</strong></em>. A beautiful, touching, and awe-inspiring film that stands as one of the great examples of World Cinema and easily sits among the great films of The Art of Motion Pictures. Featuring a cast including <em><strong>Rashomon</strong></em>'s Machiko Kyō and Masayuki Mori, Mizoguchi's tale of Ghostly Temptation, Upward Mobility, and Feudal Class Restraints is both a warning and a morality tale for human greed, desire, and frailty.</p> <p>It is a true pleasure to continue our exploration into the greatest films of the medium. If you have not seen this film you are walking into one of the great story-telling experiences. You're Welcome.</p> <p>Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions can be directed to <a href="mailto:gondoramos@yahoo.com">gondoramos@yahoo.com</a>. Many Thanks.</p>
