MY FAVOURITE DIRECTORS: Mizoguchi, Tarkovsky, Satyajit Ray, Renoir, Hitchcock 

IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE FILMS, ASK MUBI (various films here have been screened by Mubi over the years, but Mizoguchi has been shockingly neglected!)

In time, more women and directors from Latin America, Africa and under-represented countries and regions.

The Life of an Actor and A Woman of Osaka, regarded at the time as among Mizoguchi’s finest, are lost (along with more than half his films).
