Two peasants in civil-war Japan chase glory. Mizoguchi turns a ghost story into cinema's most moving meditation on ambition and loss. Long tracking shots that feel like rivers.

βJapanese cinema has three absolute peaks β Ozu, Kurosawa, Mizoguchi β and Ugetsu is Mizoguchi's. The closing sequence reorients your sense of what film can do. Watch it alone, at night.β
