Often cited by critics as one of the greatest films ever made ,
Kenji Mizoguchi's
UGETSU
, includes the director's signature theme of the women oppressed while adopting a broader philosophical perspective on human affairs .
Set against the backdrop of the feudal wars of 16th-century Japan, the film stars
Masayuki Mori
as Genjurô , a potter living with his wife , Miyagi (
Kinuyo Tanaka
) , in a small village .
Aware that pottery is in demand , he makes the hazardous journey to the city in the hope of profiting there .
His farmer brother , Tobei (
Eitarô Ozawa
) , accompanies him , eager to provide a better life for his wife , Ohama (
Mitsuko Mitu
) , by becoming a samurai .
After the success of this trip , they become even more concerned with making money . But their village is suddenly attacked , forcing the two couples to flee by boat .
Genjurô and Tobei go to the city of Omizo to sell their undamaged pottery , leaving their families behind to ensure their safety
Mizoguchi
's meditation on themes of greed , ambition , love , and betrayal seamlessly weaves realistic and fantastic elements into a tapestry of smooth , elaborately choreographed tracking shots and stately , ascending crane shots while revealing both the folly and the suffering of humanity
