かいせつ 戦乱の世、欲望に駆られた男たちは、女たちを犠牲にしてまで幻影を追い求め…。怪異譚の古典を原作に、欲に惑う人間の愚かさを、現実と幻想の間に映し出す名作。ヴェネチア映画祭銀獅子賞に輝き、溝口の名を世界に轟かせた。
Commentary: In an age of war, men driven by lust chase illusions even at the cost of sacrificing women... Based on a classic tale of the supernatural, this masterpiece reflects the folly of humans deluded by desire, suspended between reality and fantasy. Winner of the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, it spread Mizoguchi's name worldwide.
