"Sansho the Bailiff"

Okay, went back to art movie territory....well, due to another flick I'll talk about later....MUCH later....and it was "Sansho the Bailiff." I hadn't been in a hurry to see this one, but after seeing "Ugetsu," which I really liked, I figured I'd better check another Mizoguchi flick out. And it's a good one. Didn't like it as much as "Ugetsu," but that may have something to do with the subject matter. "Ugetsu"'s just a good solid entertainment, good story, etc. "Sansho" is one of those brooders about the morality of mankind, etc. If you're not in the mood for that, well, good luck.

That OTHER movie I mentioned at the beginning of this post? I'll save that for next post.
