In 16th century Japan, peasants Genjuro and Tobei sell their earthenware pots to a group of soldiers, in defiance of a local sage’s warning against seeking to profit from warfare. Genjuro’s pursuit of both riches and Tobei’s wish to become a samurai risks to destroy both themselves and their wives.
A richly atmospheric adaptation of two 18th century ghost stories, Kenji Mizoguchi’s Golden Age masterpiece Ugetsu is a true classic — one of the most influential and iconic films of Japanese cinema. A genius tale of man’s avarice and ambition, told with a uniquely lyrical sweep and subtle style.
