VHS Movie Reviews of The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum
Movie Review: The unsaid inspiration of a succesful Kibuki actor!
Summary: 5 Stars
The adopted son of a wealthy family whose great tradition in the acting has been an additional value, finds his success and eventual bliss as actor afer he meests and be inspired by the family maid, who tutors him in his promising craft, whose beginnings are not precisely the most encouraging.
She is immediately rejected and even fired if the family once his familiars are aware there's something hidden in this uninterested relationship. These suspicions will determine eventually the imminent tragedy for Otoku (the maid) and the glory of Keinusuke.
The long takes and the way Mizoguchi handles with admirable security every little shot make of this film one his major achievements.
Don't miss it under no pretext.
