SISTERS OF THE GION (Japan 1936): Legendary director Kenji Mizoguchi had a fascination with prostitutes...Sexcrime, anti-gun propaganda, cradle-robbing old pervs, more sexcrime, and I barely got a quarter of the way through the list before giving up in revulsion. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?STRAY DOG (Japan 1949): Film noir style police movie about a stolen gun used in a crime spree....
EARLY SUMMER (Japan 1951): A very traditional Japanese family seeks to marry their daughter (the always sweet Setsuko Hara) to an older man....
THE LIFE OF OHARU (Japan 1952): Kinuyo Tanaka stars as an aging prostitute....
BTW, you should watch some of these films. They’re very good, though I also include a few “guilty pleasures” that are merely fun. :-)
