Her Mother’s Profession (or The Crucified Woman) – Kenji Mizoguchi
A fantastic film. I am surprised this isn’t up there with Mizoguchi’s most popular films. It’s very similar to Street of Shame, but I think it handles all the themes much more effectively.
I don’t understand why so many people reference things back to Ebert and what rating he gave a film. Honestly who cares. He isn’t at all an interesting reviewer. He very rarely has interesting things to say about a film or has an interesting view or interpretation. He also give out 4/4 star ratings way too often, so I never really want to see a film because he has done so.
Compare him to say, Ed Gonzalez, who even though I disagree with his reviews a lot, they are always interesting and I will take the time to read them, and he doesn’t give out 4/4 reviews like free candy either, so when he does I am much more inclined to see the film.
From skimming through other topics on the Mubi forum, I expect some more experienced user to start bitching about how this thread has been done before. I honestly don’t care if it has because I want to see what, if any, responses I get to this, possibly from different users.
I still respect Ebert, he has seen a hell of a lot of films, but he is never interesting. If a film is a classic, unless it’s arty, chances are Ebert gave it a 4/4.

I simply cannot understand why Shadows is still here. It is absolute crap, bottom of the barrel.

Seeing what is left, I think this was a nice idea that turned out to be underwhelming.

Awesome, awesome film. Cronenberg’s second best and now one of my all time favourite films.

@ Brad S.
That’s the whole thing, he just champions any notable director unless they get too arty.
