An epic. A rather simple and still recognisable story about a family that is torn apart by slave traders. Mizoguchi's cinematography is astounding, long shots that really pulls you into the story. It has some really heartbreaking moments but without the melodramatic stuff that ruins most other (modern) films for me. You know, the violins and staring at the horizon. |
The more variety the better.
