I HAD to watch this movie. If that was not the case, I would have turned it off within the first 20 minutes. Not good. Very disappointed since Pale Flower is one of my favorites...

    I guess I'll just have to proliferate comments and fawning myself. I just read on wiki that Osan and Koharu are played by the same actress . . . and I didn't even notice! Mind=blown

Owes too much to theatre to be called cinema. A tale of obsession and passions that drive/make us weak and fragile.You must be in the mood to realy appreciate.

Now I understand why people get cross when films are projected in the wrong aspect ratio. Saw this with the ends cropped off, and boy does it make a difference.

    You saw this with the ends cropped? How? The film has a very conservative aspect ratio, 1:33 is the quoted aspect ratio. I saw this at the cinema and it was a very modest rectangle, very narrow. It was always intended as a narrow aspect ratio. It would be 1:37 at the widest but MUBI states 1:33.

Chikamatsu's 18th century Kabuki classic, re-told by Shinoda with abstract realism and a haunting poetic irony, blending stage theatrics and modernist set design with real world situations. Shinoda's most famous film, and a late landmark of the Japanese New Wave.

This fantastic Shinoda movie is very stylish, theatrical and minimalist. It gained a Best Film award from the respected Kinema Junpo magazine in the year of my birth! Also honoured was Shima Iwashita, the director's wife, for her dual role as wife and courtesan of Jihei the paper merchant who has to choose between the two of them. No need for me to give away any spoilers as to the outcome, the title says it all......
