4. Better Than Ozu and Kurosawa: Mizoguchi | The New Yorker
2 mei 2014 · Kenji Mizoguchi is a filmmaker of astonishing contrasts—one of the most furious and fiercely critical political filmmakers of all time.
When the Sight & Sound poll of the best movies of all time came out in 2012, one of its biggest surprises was the absence of any film by Kenji Mizoguchi from its highest reaches. By contrast, Yasujiro Ozu’s “Tokyo Story” came in at three and his “Late Spring” at fifteen, and Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai” finished in seventeenth place and his “Rashomon” in twenty-sixth. Mizoguchi’s “Ugetsu” tied for fiftieth place (with Charlie Chaplin’s “City Lights” and Chris Marker’s “La Jetée”). Clearly, Mizoguchi’s star has dimmed among the world’s critics, and this is unfortunate. There’s no way to say this without sounding derivative, but I consider Mizoguchi to be not just the greatest Japanese director but one of the handful of the greatest filmmakers ever—and the comprehensive retrospective of his surviving films, which began Friday at Museum of the Moving Image (and which I discuss in the magazine), provides the evidence.
