Princess Yang Kwei-fei
かいせつ 最愛の妃を亡くした唐の玄宗皇帝が、一人の娘を見初めて…。香港との共同制作となった溝口初のカラー作品は、傾国の美女・楊貴妃の愛と悲運を描いた宮廷絵巻。エキゾチックな衣装と美術を際立たせる抑えた色調が目をひく。
A commentary: Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, grieving the loss of his beloved consort, sets his sights on a young woman... Mizoguchi's first color film, a co-production with Hong Kong, is a courtly tapestry portraying the love and tragic fate of Yang Guifei, the beauty who toppled an empire. The restrained color palette that highlights the exotic costumes and art direction is striking.
