SUMMARY:Cinéma Japonais: Ugetsu Monogatari
DESCRIPTION:Cinéma JAPONAIS: Thursday Movies @Alliance Francaise \n  \n  \nCo-Presented by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto and the Alliance Francaise\, Toronto \n@ Alliance Francaise\, SPADINA THEATRE\, 24 Spadina Rd. \nFree admission\, no reservations required   \nUGETSU MONOGATARI 雨月物語\nJanuary 16\, 2020 @7:30 PM \nDirected by Kenji Mizoguchi 1953\, 97 min. Japanese with English subtitles \nUgetsu\, directed by master filmmaker Kenji Mizoguchi\, is a beautiful supernatural tale set in 16th century Kyoto and Shiga prefecture. The films screenwriters Matsutaro Kawaguchi and Yoshikata Yoda wove together two stories from Akinari Uede‘s best-known work\, Ugetsu Monogatari (Tales of Moonlight and Rain\, 1776) and French writer Guy de Maupassant‘s Decore! \, 1883. The two stories from Ugetsu Monogatari\, The House in the Thicket and The Lust of the White Serpent (Asaji ga Yado and Jasei no In) are part of a collection of supernatural tales\, which are largely taken from traditional Japanese and Chinese ghost stories. \nBy the time he made Ugetsu\, Kenji Mizoguchi was already an elder statesman of Japanese cinema\, fiercely revered by Akira Kurosawa and other directors of a younger generation. And with this exquisite ghost story\, a fatalistic wartime tragedy\, he created a touchstone of his art\, his long takes and sweeping camera guiding the viewer through a delirious narrative about two villagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune leads them far astray from their loyal wives. Moving between the terrestrial and the otherworldly\, Ugetsu reveals essential truths about the ravages of war\, the plight of women\, and the pride of men. \nThe film stars Machiko Kyō\, Mitsuko Mito\, Kinuyo Tanaka\, Masayuki Mori\, and Ei Ozawa. The film won the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival and was nominated an Academy Award for for best costume. \nEssay “Ugetsu on the other shore” by Phillip Lopate from the Criterion Collection \nMore info here > \nTrailer below >

[Documentary] New HD digital transfer \n  \nMasahiro Shinoda’s interest in sports and experience as an athlete\, he was a long-distance runner\, made him an ideal choice to direct the official film of the XI Olympic Winter Games Sapporo 1972. His work is marked by its gravitas\, and this can be felt in the opening Torch Relay sequence. Few Olympic films can boast such aesthetically pleasing images as this one. Shinoda takes full advantage of the ‘Scope format\, and of the superb equipment at his disposal. Allied to this is a subtle use of sound and silence\, filtering out all extraneous noise when required. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n \nA selection of titles from over 30 films by Masahiro Shinoda include: \n  \nPALE FLOWER 乾いた花 (1964) \nTHE STRANGE STORY OF SARUTOBI SASUKE\, a.k.a.

The director’s abiding concern with family dynamics receives one of its most spirited treatments\, with a wry\, tender humor and buoyant expansiveness that moves the action from the home into the baseball stadiums\, pachinko parlors\, and ramen shops of postwar Tokyo. \nRETURN TO LIST OF ALL FILMS IN THIS SERIES >  \n  \nCo-Presented by:

In 1959\, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent classic A Story of Floating Weeds in color with the celebrated cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon\, Ugetsu). Setting his later version in a seaside location\, Ozu otherwise preserves the details of his elegantly simple plot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunites with his former lover and illegitimate son\, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all. Together\, the films offer a unique glimpse into the evolution of one of cinema’s greatest directors. A Story of Floating Weeds reveals Ozu in the midst of developing his mode of expression; Floating Weeds reveals his distinct style at its pinnacle. In each\, the director captures the joy and sadness in everyday life.   RETURN TO LIST OF ALL FILMS IN THIS SERIES >    Co-Presented by:
