Sisters of the Gion (DVDrip - 1936)

Genre :Drama | Criterion collection | rapidshare/megaupload

Often considered to be the best pre-war Japanese film, and Kenji Mizoguchi's masterpiece, Sisters of The Gion is set in the red-light district of Kyoto. The film tells of two sisters--the older trained as a geisha in the old tradition, the younger an apprentice devoted to the more progressive ideas. This conflict between the old and the new, wrote Donald Richie in The Japanese Film, has become "the protest symbol of modern Japan."

Regarded by many as the best film made in pre-war Japan, THE SISTERS OF THE GION stars Isuzu Yamada as Omocha and Yoko Umemura as Umekichi, two sisters working as geishas in the Gion, the licensed red light district of Kyoto. Umekichi, the older sister, has been trying to train Omocha in the observance of "giri," which might be translated as a geisha's responsibilities. But the younger, more cynical woman deeply resents her role and wants to take her clients for as much as she can, jumping from one man to another in the process. When Umekichi takes in Furusawa (Benkei Shiganoya), a client who has gone bankrupt, Omocha vents her displeasure. Another stinging denunciation of the treatment of women in Japanese society, its visual style evinces some of elements that would come to be characteristic of director Kenji Mizoguchi: fixed and distanced camera positions, long sequence takes, and unusually fluid tracking shots. - - Rotten tomatoes
