Saikaku ichidai onna, Japan, 1952, 133 min., Italian version, directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, starring Kinuyo Tanaka, Tsukie Matsuura and Toshirô Mifune
In 17th century Japan, a noblewoman named O-Haru is sold to a feudal lord as his concubine for having granted her favours to a young man of inferior rank. This film, which together with Kurosawa's Rashomon brought Japanese cinema to the attention of the West, is a heart-rendingly intense compendium of Mizoguchi's art.
