Description

“Quite simply one of the greatest of filmmakers,” said Jean-Luc Godard of Kenji Mizoguchi. And Ugetsu, a ghost story like no other, is surely the Japanese director’s supreme achievement. Derived from stories by Akinari Ueda and Guy de Maupassant, this haunting tale of love and loss—with its exquisite blending of the otherworldly and the real—is one of the most beautiful films ever made.

  • Not A Horror Film

    But rather a lesson in the ramifications of greed. Fantastic, subtle, harrowing, but surprisingly up lifting...you'll see...film-making at it's best, really.

    A tale of greed and desire told through a haunting ghost story set in Japan in the late 16th century.

  • A strange and unique classic

    This will be like no film you have ever seen, and certainly one you will never forget. There are actually two ghost stories embedded in the plot. Neither one anchors the story line, which pertains more the foibles of men and women as they blunder through life.
