Talking About Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu with our guest, production designer Yôhei TanedaIn this episode of Movies We Like, we are thrilled to have production designer Yôhei Taneda join us to discuss his fascinating career and one of his favorite films, Kenji Mizoguchi's 1953 classic, Ugetsu. Taneda shares his journey into the world of production design, from his early days as an art student to his experiences working on both Japanese and American films, such as Kill Bill: Volume 1, The Hateful Eight, the Monster Hunt films, The Flowers of War, and When Marnie Was There.Throughout the episode, Taneda offers unique insights into the art of production design, discussing the intricacies of creating immersive worlds for both live-action and animated films. He delves into the challenges of balancing the director's vision with his own artistic sensibilities, and the importance of collaborating with other departments to create a cohesive visual experience.As the conversation turns to Ugetsu, Taneda explores the film's haunting aesthetic and the ways in which Mizoguchi's use of space and design elements contribute to its ghostly atmosphere. He draws comparisons between Ugetsu and other Japanese films of the era, highlighting the symbolic significance of water and the influence of Noh theater on the film's visual style.Ugetsu remains a timeless masterpiece, a testament to Mizoguchi's artistic vision and the power of cinema to transport audiences to otherworldly realms. Taneda's passion for the film and his deep appreciation for its craft make for a captivating discussion that will leave listeners eager to revisit this haunting classic. We had a wonderful time delving into the artistry behind Ugetsu and exploring Taneda's remarkable career in production design.A very special thanks to Hiroshi Tominaga for being our translator for this episode!Film SundriesFind Yôhei on Instagram or visit his websiteYôhei on IMDbBuy our Akira Kurosawa T-shirt!Watch this on Apple or Amazon, or find other places at JustWatchTheatrical trailerOriginal MaterialLetterboxdMore About Yôhei TanedaFor the past two decades, Yôhei Taneda has collaborated with filmmakers from across the globe, amassing an impressive list of accolades and credits, including Kill Bill: Vol. I with Quentin Tarantino, Flowers of War with Zhang Yimou, and the animated Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence with Mamoru Oshii.  For The Flowers of War, an epic film about the Nanjing Massacre, Taneda recreated the period sets for the film in Nanjing. Released in 70 countries, the film was at the time one of the highest budgeted and most successful Chinese films ever made. Taneda's other international credits include the Keanu Reeves-directed Man of Tai Chi, Raman Hui's Monster Hunt, Tarantino's western The Hateful Eight, John Woo's Manhunt, and Wash Westmoreland's Netflix feature Earthquake Bird.Among Taneda's many notable non-English language productions are Swallowtail Butterfly, directed by Shunji Iwai; Sleepless Town, directed by Le Chi Ngai; The Wow–Choten Hotel and The Magic Hour, directed by Koki Mitani; and Hula Girls and Villain, directed by Sang-il Lee. Taneda's work helped foster the remarkable success of Koki Mitani's Ghost of a Chance (Suteki Na Kanashibari) and Wei Te-Sheng's Taiwanese film Warriors of the Rainbow, which earned the Best Film Award at the Tapei Golden Horse Festival.Taneda has also collaborated with Studio Ghibli on such animated films as the critically acclaimed When Marnie Was There, which earned among its many awards and nominations an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Film.  With Studio Ghibli, he also curated Karigurashi no Arietty x Yohei Taneda, an art exhibition giving the public an opportunity to view “film art” as a stand-alone presentation.

The Top 100 Project

We covered our first Ozu movie earlier this year and our first Mizoguchi review dropped just 3 days ago, so it was way past time to talk about Federico Fellini. The flamboyant Italian made several classics, but 8½ seems to be the favourite for many fellow filmmakers who've followed in his footsteps. This is about as influential as any movie we've discussed in years. It's a director's dream too (sometimes literally), as it's filled with fantasies (good and bad), self-doubt and anxiety. While we raved about the cast and the technical brilliance of Federico's film, we also got into whether or not the movie is aloof and if the dashing Marcello Mastroianni character is sexist...or if Fellini's movie is. In any case, we both respect 8½ more than we love it. So don't pine for an ideal woman, even if she IS Claudia Cardinale.

This week, we discuss two classic Japanese films from the 1950s. The first is Tokyo Story (1953), a drama directed by Yasujirō Ozu, about an aging couple who travel to Tokyo to visit their adult children. Tokyo Story is widely regarded as Ozu's masterpiece and one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. It was voted the 3rd greatest film of all time in the 2012 edition of a poll of film directors by Sight and Sound magazine. The second is Sansho the Bailiff (1954), a period film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. It follows two aristocratic children who are sold into slavery. Sansho the Bailiff bears many of Mizoguchi's hallmarks, such as portrayals of poverty and elaborately choreographed long takes. Today, the film is often ranked alongside Ugetsu (1953) as one of Mizoguchi's finest works.   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

We're still over a week away from Scary Movie Month, but Ryan is here to monologue about a Japanese ghost story anyway. Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu has long been ranked on many esteemed critics' lists of great films...including the Sight & Sound. And it should be. It's beautifully made and, while it isn't particularly frightening, it's eerie. Ugetsu's story is basically just a love of money & power versus a love of home & family. So get your priorities straight (and listen to your wife!) as the 537th edition of Have You Ever Seen breaks down Mizoguchi's 70-year-old spookfest. How about supporting our sponsor?

If you can burn away all the pain, should you take that path?'The Temple Of The Golden Pavilion' by Yukio Mishima is a fictionalised account of real events concerning a temple in Kyoto in the 1940's. Mizoguchi a young acolyte become enamoured & then disillusioned by the Golden Temple. He experiences growing frustration due to his stutter & lack of connection to females, which leads to a climatic fiery end.I summarised the book as follows. "A book you could analyse thoroughly, perhaps even too much! It's a glimpse into the mind of a wild author via a troubled boy. The beauty aspect feels slightly overdone but the narrative & internal self-talk is so identifiable. It was actually helpful for me in knowing what to avoid when I feel inner turmoil."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Um die Filme von Keisuke Kinoshita besser einordnen zu können, haben wir auch einige Filme von anderen zeitgenössischen japanischen Regisseuren geschaut und besprochen - zum Beispiel in Folge 14 ein Film von Nobuo Nakagawa: THE GHOST STORY OF YOTSUYA (1959) oder in Folge 28 DRUNKEN ANGEL von Akira Kurosawa (1948).Heute geht es um Kenji Miziguchis Film WOMEN OF THE NIGHT (1948). Tom Schünemann (filmsucht.org) fasst den Film so zusammen: "Frauen der Nacht dreht sich um zwei Schwestern, diese stürzt der Autorenfilmer mit harschem Realismus in ihr Unglück. Statt allgemeine Systemfragen zu stellen, breitet Mizoguchi ein unangenehm konkretes Netz aus Machtmissbrauch, Gewalt, Lügen, Amoral, Abtreibungen und Geschlechtskrankheiten vor uns aus."Im Podcast reden wir über die überdeutlichen, klaren Botschaften, die Mizoguchi vermittelt, über die Prostitution in Japan, über die Rolle der Männer, über die sich verändernde Körpersprache und das christliche Ikonographie-Repertoire im aufregenden Finale. (Unsere Aufnahmetechnik hatte im Mittelteil einen Ausfall, wir bitten die teilweise schlechtere Tonqualität zu entschuldigen.)Diese Episode, die wir bereits im März 2021 aufgezeichnet haben, ist unsere letzte Episode mit dem wunderbaren, viel zu früh verstorbenen Michael Schleeh. Er hat in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Lücke hinterlassen, die sich nicht schließt. Wir vermissen ihn sehr. Wir sind uns sicher, dass es ihm gefallen hätte, dass wir jetzt weiter machen mit seiner Podcast-Idee, alle Kinofilme von Keisuke Kinoshita zu besprechen.Es bietet sich in wenigen Wochen eine sehr gute Gelegenheit: Keisuke Kinoshita steht im Mittelpunkt der Retrospektive des diesjährigen Japanischen Filmfestival Nippon Connection 2023 in Frankfurt! Thomas wird vom 6. bis zum 11. Juni auf dem Festival sein und dort THE SNOW FLURRY (1959) schauen. Die nächste Folge wird am 10.

Wilcox), which we compare to Mizoguchi's Sansho the Bailiff as a sold-into-slavery story but find wanting in its social analysis despite its Communist screenwriter.

Immerhin passt es noch gerade so in den Hashtag-Zeitraum. Dafür wird es aber auch kontrovers: denn DAS HÖLLENTOR kann vor allem Knut nicht komplett überzeugen - zu sehr wirkt der Film auf europäische Festivals hin zugeschnitten. Dabei hat das Werk von Teinosuke Kinugasa einiges auf der Haben-Seite: atemberaubende Farbfotographie, ein Regisseur, der die Grundlagen des Jidai-geki mit gestaltet hat und im japanischen Vorkriegskino gar versuchte, eine neue linke Avantgarde aufzubauen, das Studio hat sogar seine besten Techniker und ein saftiges Budget bereitgestellt. Und da liegt eventuell das Problem: während Zeitgenossen wie Kurosawa, Ozu oder Mizoguchi einen Spagat zwischen einem Sinn für den ausländischen Markt und der eigenen Filmsprache schlagen, drückt das Studio den Film hier auf maximale westliche Exotismus-Kompatiblität. Was selbst dem Regisseur nicht zusagte, ging voll auf: DAS HÖLLENTOR taucht in fast allen Bestenlisten der westlichen Kanoniker ganz, ganz oben auf. Zu seiner Zeit war der Film ein Arthouse-Hit! Uns interessiert daher, wieso das so ist und was der Film eigentlich machen will, welche Mechaniken er gerade dafür anwendet, um in Cannes und Co. so einzuschlagen. Dabei zeigt Jochen die Stärken des Films nochmal deutlich auf, erlaubt sich gerne, in den Bildwelten und kalkulierten Leerstellen zu schwelgen. Am Ende ist unsere Folge also nicht nur ein Blick auf den Film und seinen zeitlichen Kontext, er lässt uns auch darüber reflektieren, wie schwer es manchmal ist, unser vom großen Filmkritiker Truffaut entliehenes Motto einzuhalten: erst einmal schauen, was der Film ist, auch wenn er nicht ansatzweise mehr so funktioniert, wie bei dem Publikum, für das er gemacht wurde... in den 50ern, in Europa und den USA, da wo das japanische Kino eine frische Neuentdeckung ist, die man nur in geringem Maße erleben kann, nämlich im Kino, ganz ohne Blu-rays und heimischem LCD-Bildschirm.

I am happy to introduce you to Tetsuya Mizoguchi, a veteran adventurer and character in my book Unhinged in Ethiopia: Two Thousand Kilometers of Hell and Heaven on a Bicycle via a podcast conversation. Tetsuya Mizoguchi has been bicycle touring since high school and has pedaled solo across South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. We met in Ethiopia while he was on his journey from Cape Town to Cairo and rode together for several days. About 15 years my junior, he displayed unrivaled poise and confidence when dealing with stone-hurling children and showed me how to deal with tough times on the road.  They say when the student is ready the teacher will appear and I met him at exactly the right time as he gave me invaluable tips on surviving in Ethiopia on a bicycle. He was mugged in South Africa but still managed to snap a picture of his assailants running away, patched 60 tire punctures in Zimbabwe, got kicked out of a home after refusing to use drugs with his hosts in Egypt, and was mistaken for a dead body while sleeping under a bridge in the winter in his home country of Japan. Enjoy the conversation. Be bold. Be intrepid.

The arrival of sound opened a proverbial can of worms in the mute halls of cinema. For ten furious years (1930-1940), the ‘talkie' would make and break itself again and again. The names are in the history books: Lang, Clair, Lubitsch, Dreyer, Mamoulian, Berkely, Vigo, Mizoguchi, von Sternberg, Hawks, Ford. Etc! But over these same years, cinema would begin to ossify – “where the experiments of 1930 became the shortcuts of 1939”. That's Eugene Kotlyarenko, speaking in this episode – because he joined us for this episode; clearing a path through the whisper-singsong-chatter-belly laugh-screeching of the decade that made cinema cinema.

We use Mizoguchi's explicit treatment of ghostly themes in Ugetsu as a springboard for discussing the haunting qualities of Sansho the Bailiff and the relationship between nature, the transcendent, and the miraculous in the film. We also consider the question of whether the film argues for political action or resignation as the best way of dealing with the systemic injustice from which we can't seem to escape and the threat of hopelessness.    Time Codes: 0h 1m 00s:        UGETSU (1953) [dir.

Ce qu'il y a de bien avec le cinéma, c'est qu'on en a jamais fini de découvrir des films ou des cinéastes. Et nombreux sont ceux qui sont passés sous les radars, et surtout pas passés par les écrans français en ce qui concerne les cinématographies étrangères. Notamment celle japonaise, où des pans entiers restent à exhumer de ce côté de l'océan Pacifique. Par exemple, la carrière de Kinuyo Tanaka. Ici, on ne connaissait que son compagnonnage avec Mizoguchi pour qui cette actrice a tourné quinze films. Ce qui reste peu sur une filmographie qui en aura compté près de 250 et où s'alignent les plus grandes signatures, Mizoguchi donc, mais aussi Ozu ou Naruse. Tanaka aura été comme un fil rouge dans l'histoire de la production japonaise. D'une forte présence dans son cinéma muet à sa participation au premier film parlant, mais aussi en étant une de ses stars féminines pendant l'âge d'or des années 50. Tanaka aura suivi les fluctuations de cette industrie, jusque dans sa prestation pendant la seconde guerre mondiale dans des films de propagande, sa transition entre grand écran et télévision puis un come-back fulgurant dans les années 70. Un parcours quasi patrimonial qui ne saurait pourtant résumer la trajectoire de celle qui fut l'équivalent japonais, dans son jeu comme ses rôles de femmes fortes et complexes, d'une Bette Davis ou d'une Greta Garbo.Elle est même entrée officiellement dans l'histoire comme la seconde femme à passer derrière la caméra au Japon. Un choix forcément fort dans un milieu essentiellement masculin. Confirmation d'un caractère bien trempé pour une actrice qui avait défrayé la chronique à la fin des années 40 pour commettre le sacrilège de rompre son contrat avec un studio pour aller tenter une petite aventure hollywoodienne. Les six films qu'elle va réaliser entre 1953 et 1962 remettent les pendules à l'heure jusqu'à laisser se demander si Mizoguchi, un des mentors de Tanaka, ne lui devrait pas sa réputation de cinéaste féministe. Qu'ils s'essayent au néoréalisme ou à l'expressionnisme, naviguent admirablement entre mélo, drames historiques ou récits très contemporain, les films de Tanaka composent un exceptionnel portrait de la condition féminine. Jusqu'à se passer, après Lettres d'amour et La lune s'est levée, de scénaristes masculins. Là où sa carrière d'actrice lui offrit généralement des rôles de femmes aux destins funestes, Tanaka réalisatrice les fait se redresser, les incite à ne plus courber l'échine. Y compris autour de sujets jugés impossibles dans ces années 50 comme le cancer du sein dans Maternité éternelle. Elle abolit même déjà le patriarcat dans La nuit des femmes, où des prostituées reforment société en allant vivre en communauté en bord de mer.Au-delà même de ce discours de pionnière, l'intégrale qui sort cette semaine démontre aussi une impressionnante metteuse en scène, avec six films trop longtemps restée dans l'ombre, alors qu'ils sont à la hauteur des classiques mondialement reconnus où elle fut actrice. Étonnamment, elle ne tint jamais le rôle principal de ses propres réalisations, peut-être par écho du sentiment de sororité et de résistance qui émane de ce cycle, mais sa découverte, confirme à quel point devant ou derrière la caméra, Kinuyo Tanaka fut une héroïne.La rétrospective Kinuyo Tanaka est à retrouver dans les salles obscures à partir du 16 février.

Ghosts of the Pale & Shadowy Moon After the Rain: Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu Monogotari This week Mr. Chavez & I have the pleasure of discussing one of the great films of Cinema, Kenji Mizoguchi's 1953 Masterpiece, Ugetsu Monogotari. A beautiful, touching, and awe-inspiring film that stands as one of the great examples of World Cinema and easily sits among the great films of The Art of Motion Pictures. Featuring a cast including Rashomon's Machiko Kyō and Masayuki Mori, Mizoguchi's tale of Ghostly Temptation, Upward Mobility, and Feudal Class Restraints is both a warning and a morality tale for human greed, desire, and frailty. It is a true pleasure to continue our exploration into the greatest films of the medium. If you have not seen this film you are walking into one of the great story-telling experiences.

Nel mio orto nascono pomodori che nessun supermercato sarebbe disposto a mettere sui suoi banchi. Sono bruttini, non troppo grandi, con delle macchioline sulla buccia dove qualche uccello ha dato una o due beccate. Non ce n'è uno uguale all'altro. Eppure se li assaggi sono non buoni, sono buonissimi. E non lo dico perché vengono dal mio orto, ma perché è proprio un fatto oggettivo.Sarebbe improponibile, commercialmente, produrli su una scala vendibile e certamente non incontrerebbero il gusto di molti. Cosí difformi e sconclusionati. Ma per me vanno bene.Ci ho messo anni per arrivare a questo livello nella coltivazione della più famosa delle solanacee, ma adesso li produco con soddisfazione e li faccio per me e per i miei amici. Quando sono in un'insalata ti sfido a vedere che non sono proprio rotondi o geometricamente bislunghi. Yasuhiro Ogawa scatta fotografie che sono come i miei pomodori. A prima vista piene di piccoli difetti, spaiate, non conformi, scure, cupe, bagnate, poco invitanti. Eppure più le guardo più mi accorgo che hanno sapore, personalità, carattere, respiro.Non le troverò certamente sulle copertine delle riviste di moda o sul National Geographic, ambienti che cercano e richiedono un diverso tipo di fotografia, ma una volta sulla mia tavola (o meglio, tavolozza) visiva, mi basta poco per convincermi che vale la pena gustarle. Assaporarle con calma.Ogawa è un fotografo giapponese che fa dell'estetica Wabi Sabi il suo punto di forza.E qui forse serve una breve spiegazione.Non posso definirmi esperto di cose giapponesi, ma ho visto tanti tanti film giapponesi di registi straordinari come Ozu, Kurosawa, Kitano, Mizoguchi in gioventù ho letto anche molti autori tipo Murakami, Mishima, Ōe , Matsumoto e anche altri che adesso non riesco nemmeno ad elencare.E non dimentichiamo la mole impressionante di anime e manga di cui ho fruito e fruisco. Sono cresciuto, praticamente, allevato dalla cultura giapponese.Questo, ripeto, non fa certamente di me un esperto, ma alcune cose penso di averle colte ed una di queste è che in Giappone vivono delle contraddizioni. Da un lato ad esempio ci sono personaggi come Jiro Ono, il più grande cuoco di sushi del mondo che in uno scantinato di Tokyo, vicino alla stazione di Ginza ha il suo ristorante.Si chiama Sukiyabashi Jiro. Se sei occidentale devi essere accompagnato da una guida locale. Ci puoi stare massimo 20 minuti. Alla fine paghi 250 euro e te ne vai avendo mangiato il migliore sushi mai preparato.Jiro Ono ha passato la sua vita, 96 anni ad oggi, perfezionando giorno dopo giorno la sua arte. Qualcosa di ossessivo, di maniacale. Qualcosa che non consente errori che non ammette imperfezioni. Ogni giorno, per 80 anni ha migliorato qualcosa per non lasciare nulla al caso. Accanto a tanti esempi di questo tipo di filosofica ricerca della perfezione ci sono però tanti esempi di accettazione di quelle che sono le imperfezioni.La filosofia Wabi Sabi appunto.Una teiera sbeccata e ricucita, un giardino perfettamente rastrellato dove sono cadute delle foglie di acero, una costruzione cadente, un tempio abbandonato. Ognuna di queste immagini mentali contiene, almeno in parte un sapore Wabi Sabi.In occidente abbiamo quasi l'ossessione per le regole ed il rigore formale.In fotografia non parliamone. La proporzione aurea, la regola dei terzi, la simmetria, l'ordine, la prospettiva. Abbiamo strumenti che mostrano una griglia nel mirino per aiutarci a rispettarle. Nei circoli fotografici ti misurano le proporzioni con la squadra e il goniometro.Ci piace che esitano relazioni matematiche tra le cose, ci piace pensare che le cose belle siano eterne. La matematica è il linguaggio della natura e solo ciò che rispetta il ritmo armonico della matematica ha il sigillo dell'estetica.Abbiamo il gusto per il ritmico ripetersi dei pattern. Cerchiamo conferme. Amiamo l'eterna consuetudine dello sfarzo e della regolarità.L'estetica Giapponese, invece, è profondamente diversa. Delle cose se ne apprezza molto di più il lato imperfetto, rustico, melanconico.Non c'è il culto del "kalòs kai agathòs", il bello e buono, l'invincibile, l'indomito, il giusto. L'estetica giapponese in molti casi si basa invece sul grande rispetto per quello che è caduco, fragile, invecchiato, sgualcito.La convinzione è che ci sia sempre grande bellezza nel portare i segni del tempo e nell'essere di conseguenza unici, perché il tempo lavora su ognuno di noi in modo differente.Ecco quindi che in quest'ottica iniziamo a capire meglio la fotografia di Yasuhiro Ogawa. I suoi neri profondi accostati a bianchi sparati sono il risultato di questo gusto dell'imperfezione e dell'unicità.Nella fotografia di Ogawa non ci sono regole, non c'è nulla che non si possa fare, di certo non si cercano simmetrie né si trovano regolarità.La copertina del suo primo libro, Shimagatari, è una immagine sgranata di una battigia. L'immagine è pendente. I più libri più moderni chiamerebbero quell'inclinazione della fotocamera "Dutch Angle",ma è solo un eufemismo per "Storta". Eppure Shimagatari è un libro per il quale di porta grande rispetto, nel quale si capisce perfettamente che lo scopo di Ogawa non è quello di abbellire, addobbare, razionalizzare. Lo scopo di Ogawa è quello di trasmettere la malinconia, se vogliamo anche il rimpianto, per uno stile di vita divorato dalla modernità.Intere isole la cui popolazione ormai è composta unicamente da anziani. I giovani sono fuggiti nelle città alla ricerca di un corporate job, e nei villaggi è rimasto solo il senso di sconfitta. Ma una sconfitta dignitosa, anzi, una sconfitta solenne. Le altalene abbandonate, i giardini incolti, la ruggine, gli autobus vuoti, le finestre senza più alcuno scopo delle case abbandonate., le strade interrotte, i traghetti solitari, le fotografie degli avi lasciate al loro destino. Eppure accanto a questo umano sfacelo Ogawa riesce a mettere il rifiorire della natura. Quell'immane forza che pian piano si riprenderà tutto. Una natura che ci ha messi qui e che ci toglierà di mezzo a tempo debito.E nell'unione di questi due elementi contrastanti, la decadenza e la rinascita, lo spirito Wabi Sabi di Ogawa esce prepotente e luminosamente oscuro.Ogni cosa è nobilitata dal suo passato. Quel bus abbandonato ha storie da raccontare e grazie ad Yasuhiro, forse per l'ultima volta, ne sta raccontando una nuova. L'erba alta ci nasconde il sentiero dove camminare e se ci si abbandona alla malinconia forse si capisce che non c'è mai stato un vero e proprio sentiero, ma solo una lotta dell'uomo che ha deciso, per un po', di impegnarsi molto affinché la natura non prendesse possesso di quei metri tortuosi.Appena si smette di lottare la natura si riprende quel che è suo e ci ricorda chi comanda.Shimagatari, dicevo, è un opera straordinaria, ma è solo uno dei tanti esempi di come il gusto per la malinconia di Ogawa riescono a rendere interessanti cose all'apparenza banali.Nella serie "Cascade" ad esempio Ogawa ci porta su un altro livello di lettura del ricordo, di celebrazione dell'assenza.Alla morte della madre l'autore ritorna nella casa della sua infanzia e trova un filmato in 8mm che la madre aveva registrato di lui da piccolo. Recupera un proiettore e inizia a guardare il filmato.Ogni tanto scatta una fotografia elle immagini proiettate sul muro.Il racconto che ne esce è una storia di fantasmi. Quello della madre, morta per davvero da poco, quello di se stesso bambino morto figurativamente anni prima, Quello dei fiori, dei bambini, degli insetti che popolavano il ricordo della madre impresso nella pellicola ed infine quello del filmato stesso i cui singoli fotogrammi si sommano nel tempo di scatto della fotocamera di Yasuhiro Ogawa a formare qualcosa di diverso. È una vera e propria matrioska temporale che potrebbe generare anche paradossi se lo stile con il quale è stata raccontata non mettesse subito in chiaro il senso di tutto questo. Ancora una volta la caducità, la transitorietà, l'assenza di qualcosa e i segni che questo qualcosa ha lasciato nel nostro presente. Cicatrici che amiamo sfiorare, quasi come un tic nervoso. Cicatrici che danno senso alla nostra stessa vita, perché rappresentano l'atto stesso di averla vissuta.E veniamo ora all'ultimo lavoro di Ogawa: The Dreaming.In questo libro sono raccolte alcune immagini che Yasuhiro ha scattato durante i primi anni della sua carriera fotografica in giro per il mondo. Sono immagini che apparentemente hanno uno stile molto diverso da quelle degli altri suoi lavori più maturi, ma in realtà ci riportano nello stesso filone. Infatti questo libro nasce quando Ogawa, arrivato al mezzo secolo, si guarda indietro e apre i suoi archivi e vede il tempo che è passato nella sua stessa fotografia e decide di lavorare alle sue vecchie fotografie e ci mostra, senza nessun pudore, i segni del tempo sul suo stile. È come mostrarci il filmino di sua madre, solo che stavolta sono i fotogrammi di una carriera agli albori.Le immagini sono riprese e ritrattate da capo in camera oscura, aggiungendo quella che è la sensibilità corrente di Ogawa, reinterpretando i racconti che aveva già raccontato, cercando di migliorare i gesti del passato, cercando di raffinare il più possibile una tecnica, cosa che lo porta, per chiudere il cerchio ad assomigliare a Jiro Ono nel tentativo di perfezionare il più possibile la propria arte.La ricerca dell'eccellenza da parte di Ogawa nel suo campo non è difforme da quella del re del sushi. Per quanto strano ci possa sembrare. Laddove infatti sembrerebbe che non ci sia spazio per l'imperfezione, per la difformità dei gesti.Laddove si passa una vita in tagli ripetuti nelle carni dei pesci e nella ricerca maniacale di quegli ingredienti che rendono il sushi di Jiro, semplicemente, perfetto, ecco che ci accorgiamo di una cosa importantissima.Non esiste un pesce palla uguale ad una altro, non esiste un chicco di riso che sia nato due volte sulla terra e non esiste un boccone perfetto, perché non puoi ripetere lo stesso identico pezzo di sushi più di una volta.La ricerca di Jiro e Yasuhiro è potenzialmente infinita e tutto quelle che ne esce è che la cosa veramente importante è apprezzarne il percorso, il passato.Guardare una fotografia di Yasuhiro Ogawa non è diverso dall'assaggiare un piatto di Jiro Ono.

Set in 17th-century feudal Japan, director Kenji Mizoguchi's 1954 feature A Story From Chikamatsu — also known as The Crucified Lovers or Chikamatsu Monogatari — is a tale of star-crossed love that's rich with unexpected twists and revelations. Involving a grand scroll master, his wife, and his best employee, the story unfolds in deep focus and long takes, with expert cinematography by Kazuo Miyagawa. Inspired by Mizoguchi's ability to illuminate the present through the lens of the past, the Film Club's conversation springboards into cloud technology as well as the pleasures and pitfalls of modern cinephilia. As the scroll master's wife, Osan (Kyôko Kagawa), reminds us, "Nothing is more unpredictable than a person's fate."

Porque, si no lo hacen, dejarán de escuchar a Raül arrancar suavemente en una presentación asombrosa, solo anunciando, de corrido, dejando espacio a seguir hablando, después, como quien suma y da lugar. Y luego el maestro, el bueno de Zacarias, que dejó diez segundos opacos, con la elegancia meridiana de quien no tiene complejos, porque sabe, en su ponencia inicial donde abría, en canal, el plantel de posibilidades y virtudes de una película que no teniendo en el Olimpo sin embargo apreciaba, y dijo, es una hermosa obra. Y vino Salvador, como siempre despacio, casi escondido, para decirnos de temas, y ventanas y andamiaje perfecto de quien hizo maravillas que aún roban el alma. Y ahí anduvo uno, que ya lo sabía, para augurar el mejor programa, el mejor hecho, desde que tengo consciencia. Y vino la música, y los espacios, las oportunidades y los turnos consensuados, con el límite de la educación y el amor a la sapiencia, dado en el cine cuando este se acerca, a esa voladura de color a verdad que a nosotros nos calla y a él lo enaltece. Un hombre escribe un libro, luego no lee un papel y por fin deja de hablar, para siempre. ¿Que ha Pasado?, no lo sé, pero algo ha ocurrido. Otro hombre, joven, de gafas, busca. Tiene una cámara, una mirada, e intenta con los suyos ganarse el pan; hasta que se da cuenta: ganarse el pan no basta. Cambia. La excelente película de Theo Angeolopoulos trata el concepto de frontera como una noción permeable, la física, la moral, la existencial, hasta llegar al corazón del espectador ya trasladado al vagón desde donde nos miran los capturados, ilegales, de frontera. Nos miran, nos auscultan, asombrados ante nuestra indolencia, espejo narrativo de unos espectadores, desde entonces protagonistas, que se han visto asaltados en su pasiva situación en la sala. Ya no habrá escapatoria, nos vemos inmersos en esta epopeya mística de reencuentro espiritual del hombre con el entorno, defraudado, en el que el artista dibuja al otro con nuestros ademanes y vicios, para poder sentirlo. Dicen los compañeros, desde Renoir y su naturalismo hasta López con las sobreimpresiones del paisaje reforzado, de Welles y su tiempo no de niño, de viejo, histórico, de Mizoguchi y su pincelada, la maravilla de Öphus y su temple, hasta de un Coppola existencial pero más optimista o el mismo Dreyer, sagaz, orquesta en una estructura de férreas líneas invisibles. Y todo marcha, y se define mientras vamos avanzando por el camino penoso de un sufrimiento tan necesario como certero. Magistral, véanla y escuchen este podcast. José Miguel Moreno

Abstraerse en la negrura de un cabello que se va diluyendo como la tinta china en el agua, como el miedo en una tormenta de ventisca y nieve, el azul intenso se hace uniforme y la mirada inmóvil de una aparición con rostro de mujer, atrapa tu alma para siempre, Yukionna, la mujer de las nieves, amante maquiavélica de aliento glacial y andares livianos. Hay que tener cuidado al tomar decisiones, renunciar a tu primera mujer para conocer otros horizontes puede abrir las puertas de la maldición, no saber mantener el secreto, tener que enfrentarse a la penitencia eterna. Masaki Kobayashi dio rienda suelta a su arte en Kwaidan, un film de cuatro episodios sobre cuentos ancestrales del Japón, recopilados por el periodista y viajero Lafcadio Hearn, el film se llevó el premio especial del Jurado en Cannes en 1965. Su estilización formal excelsa, el dominio del color y la delineación de personajes coloca a Kobayashi a la altura de Kurosawa. Planos fijos y planos secuencia parten de la herencia estética de Mizoguchi, a esto añadimos unos cromatismos espectaculares, el magisterio visual de encuadres donde se mueven los espectros en pinturas hipnóticas, estancias anheladas y lapsos de tiempo transmutados en pesadilla. El rostro macilento se refleja en las aguas estancadas y las ondas esquizoides del más allá devuelven la imagen espeluznante de otra dimensión. Los cielos amarillos y rojizos, los ojos de las estrellas y la luna marcan la senda de unos labios de mujer sellados para siempre, el artificio buscado en los decorados, la épica en la recreación de la batalla naval de Dan-no-ura entre los clanes feudales , el monje ciego, pintado con las escrituras sagradas para burlar al emisario de los muertos. En el último episodio el narrador se plantea la pregunta, ¿por qué hay libros de ficción sin terminar?, el alma de un escritor queda prisionera en el agua para siempre, ten cuidado si al coger una taza para beber, contemplas la imagen de otro que te reclama, ya no podrás huir del delirio de esta incompleta reseña.

Ohne Kenji Mizoguchis UGETSU MONOGATARI kein Siegeszug des japanischen Kinos im Westen: neben Akira Kurosawa steht kaum ein anderer Filmemacher so sehr für das sogenannte goldene Zeitalter des japanischen Filmschaffens. Anfang der 50er Jahre ist Mizoguchi auch einer der ersten, die sich mit Japans Rolle im Zweiten Weltkrieg auseinander setzen. Vordergründig geht es in UGETSU um das Leid der Landbevölkerung während eines Kriegs zwischen Klans im 16. Jahrhundert. Tatsächlich aber gestaltet Mizoguchi seinen Film maximal anschlussfähig für eine Welt, der die Grauen des Krieges noch ganz unmittelbar sind. In UGETSU MONOGATARI werden Frauen entführt und zur Prostitution gezwungen – ein ganz bewusstes Echo des Umgangs japanischer Soldaten mit den sogenannten „comfort women“ während des Weltkriegs. Und brave Bauern verlieren den Verstand, weil sie glauben, Kriegsgewinnler werden zu können. Wir setzen uns kritisch damit auseinander, wie ernst man Mizoguchis ersten Versuch einer verantwortungsbewussten Erinnerungskultur heute noch nehmen kann. Und arbeiten uns an seinem betont japanischen Stil ab: Kamerafahrten wie Bildrollen, die sich vor unseren Augen entfalten.

Centauros del Desierto Por Fernando Alonso Barahona El cine es el arte de la imagen aunque la palabra sirva para adornar las miradas y conducir la acción. John Ford, el más grande artista del Séptimo Arte era un poeta que no tuvo necesidad de acentuar su poesía, le bastó con mirar a través de la cámara y dibujar emociones, épica, personas, sentimientos, aventuras en sus espectadores . Centauros del desierto se abre con la imagen de Ethan (John Wayne sublime ) recortada en el horizonte y dando inicio a la historia . Y se cierra con la imagen de nuevo del héroe cansado que ha de marcharse en el mismo horizonte después de haber encontrado el final de su búsqueda . Y a la vez percatarse de su soledad . Centauros del desierto está basada en un hecho real ; una niña Cynthia Ann Parker, raptada por los indios en 1836. Su tío, James Parker, estuvo más de una década intentado encontrarla. La niña creció y se convirtió en Nautdah, la esposa del célebre guerrero Peta Nocona. Tuvo tres hijos. Uno de ellos se convertiría en una leyenda entre los comanches: Quanah Parker. Casi un cuarto de siglo después de su rapto, la caballería arrasó el campamento donde se encontraba y la llevó nuevamente a vivir entre la población blanca . Sobre este argumento Ford construye – con la ayuda del guión de Frank S. Nugent - un western mítico y a la vez profundamente humano . El héroe que regresa al hogar anhelado pero donde la mujer que ama está casada con su hermano . Maravilloso ese plano en el que su cuñada, le mira y le besa con dulzura a su llegada a la cabaña. Después toma entre sus manos su capa de soldado ante la mirada del reverendo que interpreta Ward Bond y que demuestra conocer el secreto de la perdida historia de amor . Y poco después su sobrina ( Natalie Wood ) será raptada por los indios . Encontrarla se convierte en su obsesión : años de búsqueda , persecuciones, violencia, soledad …hasta que el encuentro se produce y aunque su primera idea es acabar con la joven profanada cuando la levanta entre sus brazos y los rayos de sol acarician el rostro de la muchacha , todo cambia . Un plano simple de incalculable belleza . Pura poesía hecha imagen. Ford , como Hitchcock, Lang, De Mille, Hawks, Vidor, Mann , Renoir , Walsh , Fellini, Dreyer , Visconti, Mizoguchi , McCarey , solo necesita una mirada, una luz , un gesto, para transmitir belleza . Es la esencia del cine. Centauros del desierto fue una película popular en su estreno ya que John Wayne era una estrella y el “western “ se encontraba en su apogeo ( Rio Rojo, Solo ante el peligro, Winchester 73, El hombre de Laramie, Johnny Guitar, El hombre del Oeste, Raices profundas, Rio Bravo ……) pero no fue valorada por una crítica miope incapaz de comprender la inusitada belleza de sus propuestas . En los años setenta del siglo pasado fue reivindicada por una nueva generación de directores encabezados por Spielberg , Coppola, John Milius, Wim Wenders o Scorsese. Hoy es considerada una de las grandes obras maestras del Septimo Arte. Brillan en la película todos sus elementos técnicos, la fotografía de Winton Hoch, la banda sonora de Max Steiner, el reparto con Vera Miles y tantos habituales de Ford : Jeffrey Hunter, Ward Bond, Harry Carey jr, Patrick Wayne, Hank Worden, Jack Pennick … Y está por supuesto el gran John Wayne. Sin duda no solo uno de los más grandes actores de la historia del cine, sino uno de los que más personajes inolvidables han encarnado : baste recordar su Ringo Kid en “La diligencia “, el capitán Tolliver en “Piratas del mar Caribe “ (Cecil B. De Mille , 1942 ) y por supuesto su colección de obras maestras a las órdenes de John Ford : La legión invencible, El hombre tranquilo , Centauros del desierto, El hombre que mató a Liberty V alance ….) y Howard Hawks : Rio Rojo, Rio Bravo, Hatari, Eldorado . Todo ello sin olvidar por supuesto al mítico Davy Crockett en “El Alamo “ dirigida por el propio Wayne en 1960 y que continua siendo una de las mejores películas de la historia del cine, y su testamento cinematográfico, la magistral “El ultimo pistolero “ (The shootist ) realizada por Don Siegel en 1976. John Wayne refleja mejor que nadie el espíritu originario de los Estados Unidos de América, su mirada ruda pero noble, la magia de su personaje, los valores que encarnó a lo largo de más de cien películas permanecen vigentes porque eran – son – universales . Un estudio de la antropología a través del cine puede perfectamente analizar las películas de John Wayne y entreverá un modelo masculino perfectamente delimitado, un pensamiento conservador abierto a la aventura y al riesgo ( el espíritu de la frontera ), y desde luego maduro . Algunos indocumentados le llamaron reaccionario…pero como diría John Chisum mirando el horizonte lejano de las tierras y la luz del sol en el amanecer : “Las cosas suelen cambiar para mejor “. John Wayne y sus películas no son en absoluto reaccionarias sino libres, y – sobre todo – profundamente americanas. Descubrir de nuevo o ver por primera vez Centauros del desierto es una experiencia cinematográfica que une cine y poesía, acción y humanidad . Belleza y sentimiento. Algo en apariencia tan simple y tan maravilloso como el cine , cuando las películas eran arte y no brillantes maquinas de “marketing “ , secuelas , sagas o historias carentes de valor y carisma. John Ford es sinónimo de cine y cuantos se acerquen a su obra sentirán emociones vivas y encontraran seres humanos , a veces contradictorios , pero a última hora positivos. Sublime magia de la belleza capturada en celuloide pasa toda la eternidad o al menos mientras por cualquier vía puedan seguir emitiéndose películas.

Edición 183 de La Gran Evasión, 29/5/2018. Esta templada noche de finales de mayo nos enfrentamos a una de la historias de amor más grandes del cine, la obra maestra de un maestro, Chikamatsu Monogatari, Los Amantes Crucificados de Kenji Mizoguchi, 1954. A cada nueva mirada hay que lavarse los ojos para ver mejor… Pura poesía filmada que sobrepasa las épocas, un canto hipnótico que se mueve por el deber y el sentimiento, por la vida y por la muerte, por el amor y el sacrificio… Basado en un hecho real, sobre 1684, dos amantes que cometieron adulterio, fueron crucificados en ejecución pública, la ley de los Tokugawa era implacable, este suceso lo convirtió en relato Saikaku, en 1715. Chikamatsu utilizó la historia para elaborar el Almanaque del amor, que da pie a la película de Mizoguchi. Una obra totalmente atemporal, porque desgrana el alma de su pueblo y señala con verdadero arte, la máxima que rige este sucio mundo, y es que el amor es el único significado de la vida, y no hay nada más, ni dinero, ni posición social, simplemente Amor, por él se vive y por él se muere. Los amantes crucificados, es la crónica de un amor que conduce sin remisión a la muerte, Eros y Thanatos, su ajusticiamiento es su triunfo moral, su liberación, se convierte en una catarsis resplandeciente. El fatalismo guía los pasos de dos amantes, Osan y Mohei, pero su amor, libre de corsés y leyes anacrónicas, les devolverá su condición de seres humanos, los volverá libres, absolutamente libres, morir es a veces, o casi siempre, la liberación ansiada…la escena del lago Biwa es el mayor ejemplo, una aparición portentosa de una barca en plena oscuridad, donde el amor implosionará primero, para iluminarlo todo después y dar a estas dos almas en fuga, unos días de vida, todo un mundo de amor… Se plantea un conflicto entre dos estratos, dos tipos de hombres, uno honrado y bondadoso contra otro malvado y réprobo. La estricta Moral del amigo Confucio, los súbditos debe ser leales a sus señores y filiales con sus padres, la norma social, el Jiri, en lucha con los sentimientos, con el Ninjo. Las obsesiones de Mizoguchi con las mujeres, convertidas en su mantra: Madre/Esposa/Prostituta… Kenji Mizoguchi exorciza sus demonios en esta obra de arte, de estética cinematagrófica deslumbrante, belleza al servicio de una denuncia, de un propósito, utilizando los recursos que el maestro dominaba, las elipsis fabulosas, la profundidad de campo, esos plano secuencia que siguen dejándonos boquiabiertos, envuelto todo ello en una estructura circular, al igual que un calendario, Mizoguchi nos lleva por una historia simétrica, la película empieza y termina con el cortejo de los adúlteros a la cruz… Mizoguchi representaba lo extraordinario de un modo realista, y nos regala una reflexión final descomunal, y es que tenemos derecho a la vida, a amar, que merece la pena rebelarse contra las oscuras reglas de la sociedad, aunque mueras en el empeño, la libertad del hombre vale la pena… Nos adentramos en la completa oscuridad del lago Biwa, dispuestos a perdernos en la barca del cine, José Miguel Moreno, Gervi Navío y Raul Gallego, mientras, en nuestras retinas, no se desvanece la imagen de dos amantes con las manos entrelazadas, con los rostros serenos, conducidos hacia la cruz, hacia su unión eterna… Hasta la mejor de las sedas..... se desvanece. Gervasio Navío Flores.

Martin Kessler is joined by Chris Funderberg and John Cribbs of thepinksmoke.com to discuss the films of two-time Palme d'Or award-wining director Shohei Imamura. They talk about his dark subject matter, his bleak point of view, the phases of his career, and his wild sense of humour. They discuss how Imamura has been handled by critics, compare him to New German Cinema, Luis Buñuel, and discuss why comparing him to other Japanese filmmakers may be a misleading.

Buckle up, things are about to get slow. Lady P welcome Monique “Momo” Morgan in her Flixwise debut, and Flixwise co-producer Martin Kessler, to talk about the second Kenji Mizoguchi entry on the Sight and Sound list, Sansho The Bailiff. They navigate its murky waters in discussing its themes, symbols, and moral quandaries, the role of women in the film, and Mizoguchi’s filmmaking technique.  For our second topic we take a long look at long takes. Our panelists discuss different types of long takes and their varying effects. Plus, they figure out exactly how long a take needs to be to achieve ‘long take’ status, and then try to list their top five favourites (Birdman doesn’t make an appearance, we promise).

Ep. 50: Ugetsu & Cinema's Greatest Ghost Stories

On today's show, we're rounding out the Sight and Sound Top 50 with Kenji Mizoguchi's ghost story, Ugetsu Monogatari ('53). Notable for both its stunning long takes and its condemnation of the oppressive patriarchal values of Feudal Japan, Ugetsu has become the quintessential Mizoguchi text. Flixwise co-producer, Martin Kessler, and Eclipse Viewer host, David Blakeslee, join Lady P to discuss why they think Ugetsu's haunting tale of the destructive power of masculine pride managed to surpass both Sansho the Bailiff and Life of Oharu to become the highest ranking Mizoguchi film on the Sight and Sound list. For the second topic, the gang talks cinema's greatest ghost stories. The panelist surmise that part of Ugetsu's enduring popularity is its supernatural element. That said, not all movie specters are as haunting as Machiko Kyo's Lady Wakasa. The panel talks about what kinds of ghosts make for effective cinematic renderings (and they try to figure out why movie ghosts have a thing for pottery). Then each panelists takes a turn talking about their personal favorite spirits from the great beyond.

Alexandre e Fred surgem como fantasmas no Episódio 38 para conversar sobre o excelente “Contos da Lua Vaga” (Ugetsu Monogatari, 1953), filme japonês dirigido por Kenji Mizoguchi e que foi – ao lado de Rashômon, de Akira Kurosawa – um dos responsáveis por tornar o cinema nipônico popular no ocidente na década de 50. Cultuado por cineastas de todo o mundo e principalmente pelos franceses da Nouvelle Vague, este clássico oriental, produzido durante a chamada “era de ouro” do cinema japonês, mereceu o Leão de Prata que conquistou no Festival de Veneza e agora faz por merecer também um episódio no Podcast Filmes Clássicos inteiramente dedicado a ele e a um dos maiores diretores do Japão, o Sr. Mizoguchi, autor de outra obras memoráveis como “Oharu – Vida de uma Cortesã” e “O Intendente Sanshô“.

Edición número 21 de La Gran Evasión. 27-1-2015. El Espejo de Andrei Tarkovski, 1975...toda una bomba fílmica la que nos ofrece este ruso loco, un genio, un poeta, un visionario, un artista en definitiva.... Esta noche citando a H. Hesse. "...es sólo para locos, el precio de la entrada es ...LA RAZÖN." Estos cientos seis minutos esta llenos de pura poesía en imágenes, de reflejos herméticos y metafísicos...transcendencia y desarraigo narrativos, Tarkovski prescinde de la trama para obligarnos a sentir. Un lienzo de cine, de otro cine, que va directo al alma, con otros códigos, con otras armas pero con la misma emoción que el cine tradicional, sin convenciones comerciales, provocando emociones que es la esencia de este arte. Revisitamos los recuerdos del propio Tarkovski, a través de los ojos de su mujer, su madre, su hijo y él mismo, siendo todos y ninguno a la vez, un espejo para el espectador que convierte la película en su propio reflejo. Todo un puzle emocional que el espectador ha de ir desentrañando partiendo desde la infancia. No hay que intentar racionalizar el film, comprenderlo, sólo hay que sentirlo dejarse llevar...CATARSIS. El arte es convertir el mundo en algo hermoso, lo infinito está en lo concreto y sólo es comunicable en imágenes....El pensamiento es efímero, la imagen...ABSOLUTA. La imagen tiende hacia el infinito y conduce hacia Lo Absoluto. Belleza en imágenes, penetrar a través de una capa que el tiempo había extendido, como el viento sobre el inmenso campo de trigo, ó el incendio del granero a través del pórtico de la cabaña, con la lluvia siempre incesante, ese agua que se filtra y lo destruye todo....Las imágenes documentales de la marcha del ejercito soviético por el lago Sivach(1943) son sobrecogedoras ó las despedidas de los niños evacuados durante la guerra civil española...simplemente estremecedoras, que se unen y se funden siendo el núcleo y el corazón de la película..... Nos sobrevuelan Fiódor Dostoyevski, Leonardo, Dreyer, Mizoguchi, Pushkin, Buñuel, Bergman...y la hipersensible poesía del padre del autor, de Arseni Tarkovski. A la dirección esculpiendo el tempo radiofónico José Miguel Moreno, contertulios aventurándose en lo absoluto Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y observando como desaparece las huellas de un vaso dejado por un fantasma en la mesa de su despacho nuestro crítico César Bardés.
