In seinem Meisterwerk Ugetsu Monogatari schildert der Japaner Kenji Mizoguchi die Geschichte von Genjuro, einem Töpfer, und seinem Schwager, dem Bauern Tobei.

A richly atmospheric adaptation of two 18th century ghost stories, Kenji Mizoguchi’s Golden Age masterpiece Ugetsu is a true classic — one of the most influential and iconic films of Japanese cinema. A genius tale of man’s avarice and ambition, told with a uniquely lyrical sweep and subtle style.
