About
Osaka elegy: Switchboard operator Ayako (Isuzu Yamada) agrees to enter into an affair with her married boss after he promises to support her and her father--setting her off on a seemingly irreversible downward spiral. (Summary taken from original packaging).
Sisters of the Gion: Two geisha sisters--one modern-minded, the other staunchly traditional--disagree over how to deal with the men controlling their lives and livelihoods in Mizoguchi's early masterpiece. (Summary taken from original packaging).
Women of the night: This ragged, searing melodrama about postwar degradation in Japan centers on three women, abandoned by society, whose only survival option is to compromise their bodies and souls. (Summary taken from original packaging).
Street of shame: In a brothel in Tokyo's red-light district, a group of working women, their profession on the verge of being outlawed, deal with life's disappointments, large and small. This beautiful, humane film was Mizoguchi's last.
