Hi everyone!

Mizoguchi was apparently told by Yasujirō Ozu not to make Sansho the Bailiff because his previous attempts at period dramas had not been a success — thankfully he didn’t listen!

“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.” — Criterion
