Mizoguchi Retrospective

Film Forum is organizing a short film festival of Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi's films. It kicks off this weekend with the screening of Ugetsu. More details here.

Articles/Notices from New York Times, New Yorker (a serious Anthony Lane, waxing lyrical) and Village Voice.

I will try to be there for Sansho the Bailiff at least. It is just impossible to go on a weekday. Why can't they show different movies on the same day?
