    Pre-War Mizoguchi masterpiece
    Pre-War Mizoguchi masterpiece, THE FALL OF OSAN was from an original also known as "DUCK AND NOODLE SOUP BOUGHT WITH THE EARNINGS OF A PROSTITUTE" which says about everything. Possibly the most Japanese film ever made, every movement redolent of internalized emotion, playing out to regret, guilt, sacrifice and immutable destiny. The opening and closing shots among the most powerful in cinema. If you don't feel a punch in the chest then you're dead.
