Kenji Mizoguchi (溝口 健二, Mizoguchi Kenji, May 16, 1898 – August 24, 1956) was a Japanese film director and screenwriter.
Mizoguchi's work is renowned for its long takes and mise-en-scène. According to writer Mark Le Fanu, "His films have an extraordinary force and purity. They shake and move the viewer by the power, refinement and compassion with which they confront human suffering."
His film Ugetsu (1953) won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and appeared in the Sight & Sound Critics' Top Ten Poll in 1962 and 1972. Other acclaimed films of his include The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (1939), The Life of Oharu (1952), and Sansho the Bailiff (1954).
Mizoguchi was born in Hongo, Tokyo, one of three children. His father was a roofing carpenter. The family was modestly middle-class until his father tried to make a living selling raincoats to soldiers during the Russo-Japanese war. The war ended too quickly for the investment to succeed; his family circumstances turned abject and they had to give his older sister up "for adoption" and moved from Hongo to Asakusa, near the theatre and brothel quarter. In effect his sister Suzuko, or Suzu, was sold into geishadom - an event which profoundly affected Mizoguchi's outlook on life. Between this and his father's brutal treatment of his mother and sister, he maintained a fierce resistance against his father throughout his life.
Eitarō Shindō (進藤 英太郎, Shindō Eitarō, 10 November 1899 – 18 February 1977) was a Japanese film actor. He appeared in more than 300 films between 1936 and 1975.
Osaka Elegy (浪華悲歌, Naniwa erejii) (originally Naniwa Elegy) is a 1936 Japanese film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. Mizoguchi considered the film his first serious effort as a director, and it was also his first commercial and critical success in Japan. Osaka Elegy is often considered a companion piece to Mizoguchi's next film, Sisters of the Gion, which was released the same year and featured much the same cast and crew.
Although not among Mizoguchi's well-known works, Osaka Elegy continues to be acclaimed by critics.
Sumiko Asai (Yoko Umemura) is the owner of the Asai Drug Company. He is unhappily married with a nagging wife, who unashamedly visits the theatre with his male colleagues. Mr Asai tries to get one of his employees, telephone operator Ayako Murai (Isuzu Yamada), to meet him for dinner. She discusses this after work with a male colleague (and apparently boyfriend), Mr Nishimura, revealing that her father is in serious difficulties: unemployed and threatened with arrest after embezzling 300 yen.
Masao Shimizu (清水将夫, Shimizu Masao, 5 October 1908 – 5 October 1975) was a Japanese actor. He appeared in over 110 films between 1931 and 1971.
Sansho the Bailiff (山椒大夫, Sanshō Dayū) is a 1954 Japanese period film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. Based on a short story of the same name by Mori Ōgai, it tells the story of two aristocratic children sold into slavery. It is often considered one of Mizoguchi's finest films, along with Ugetsu and The Life of Oharu. It bears his trademark interest in freedom, poverty and woman's place in society, and features beautiful images and long and complicated shots. The director of photography for this film was Mizoguchi's regular collaborator Kazuo Miyagawa.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it is known by its Japanese title Sanshō Dayū.
Sansho the Bailiff is a jidai-geki, or historical film, set in the Heian period of feudal Japan. A virtuous governor is banished by a feudal lord to a far-off province. His wife and children are sent to live with her brother. Several years later, the wife, Tamaki (Kinuyo Tanaka), and children, Zushiō and Anju, journey to his exiled land, but are tricked on the journey by a treacherous priestess. The mother is sold into prostitution in Sado and the children are sold by slave traders to a manorial estate in which slaves are brutalized, working under horrific conditions and branded when they try to escape. The estate, protected under the Minister of the Right, is administered by the eponymous Sanshō (Eitarō Shindō), a bailiff (or steward). Sanshō's son Tarō (Akitake Kōno), the second-in-charge, is a much more humane master, and he convinces the two they must survive in the manor before they can escape to find their father.

1936. Directed by Mizoguchi Kenji. Starring Yamada Isuzu, Takegawa Sei'ichi, and Okura Chiyoko. Subtitles in English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish. "Kenji Mizoguchi departed abruptly from his earlier sentimental films into a world of acute realism with Osaka Elegy. Boldly critiquing the position of women in contemporary Japanese society, the film examines a young woman's victimization and descent into prostitution. Together, Mizoguchi's direction and Isuzu Yamada's powerful performance create sorrowful, timeless poetry." (http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/915-osaka-elegy)

Conversation with Víctor Erice (recipient of the Pardo alla Carriera award) at the Locarno International Film Festival, August 13, 2014. In Spanish.
Japanese cinema was once the most admired cinema in the world. When they were young, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis F. Coppola were fighting to parade around Hollywood next to Akira Kurosawa. Star Wars or Kill Bill are directly influenced by Japanese directors. Mikio Naruse, Yasujiro Ozu or Kenji Mizoguchi have left works that illuminates still today the movie industry. Yet Japan seems the only place on the planet that is unaware of the richness of its cinematographic tradition. Amir Naderi refuses to bow. A veteran Iranian-American director, Mr Naderi is about to release CUT. CUT is the movie of his life. He took 10 years to finish it.
