なぜ、救われない女を撮り続けたのか｜溝口健二の人生と作品

Why do Kenji Mizoguchi's films always feature "unredeemed women"? This video doesn't simply list his representative works such as "Elegy of Naniwa," "Sisters of Gion," "Tales of Moonlight and Rain," "Sansho Dayu," and "Red Light District" as mere introductions to masterpieces. Instead, it traces the life of film director Kenji Mizoguchi and the reasons behind his unique perspective, based on historical facts. Born into a poor family, his childhood was supported by the sacrifice of his sister. He entered the film industry, experienced censorship and the Great Kanto Earthquake, grappled with the contradictions of love and violence in his personal life, and continued filming during wartime, caught between the state and cinema. After the war, his films were not appreciated in Japan, but the world was the first to understand them. Are Kenji Mizoguchi's works "cold"? Or did he simply refuse to avert his eyes from reality? This is a biography of a film director, and at the same time, a video of thought that reflects the Showa era itself. Please watch until the end and find your own answer. ▼Related Videos Did "Rashomon" mislead Japanese cinema?    • 【世界に衝撃を与えた傑作】『羅生門』は日本映画を誤解させたのか？   [Another Genius Director] The Life and Works of Keisuke Kinoshita, "Akira Kurosawa's Lifelong Rival"    • 【もう一人の天才監督】「黒澤明の終生のライバル」木下恵介の人生と作品   Chapter Table 00:00 Opening 00:38 Prologue 01:48 Chapter 1: Poverty and Devotion - A Boy's View of a Woman's Life 04:58 Chapter 2: From Aspiring Painter to Filmmaker - Between Art and Reality 08:17 Chapter 3: Can Film Capture "Reality"? - The Nikkatsu Era and the Earthquake 11:53 Chapter 4: The Wounded Director - Scandal and Comeback 15:36 Chapter 5: The Completion of Realism - "Osaka Elegy," "Sisters of Gion" 18:43 Chapter 6: A Turn to Style – Examining the Art of Performance and Feudalism 22:12 Chapter 7: Conforming to the Times – Wartime Film and its Contradictions 26:03 Chapter 8: The Post-War Labyrinth – Years of Failure and Stagnation 29:11 Chapter 9: The World Was the First to Notice – The Venice Shock 32:42 Chapter 10: The Later Years as a Climax – Between Beauty and Cruelty 35:49 Epilogue: Even So, Are Mizoguchi's Films "Cold"? +++ Thank you for watching!
