"01.06. Cinema, 1st viewing DIRECTED BY Kenji Mizoguchi Unnecessarily long, or unfocused; 150 minutes of a film basically about how sad a woman's life in 17th century Japan can be is a bit overwhelming. Anyway, moments of genius here and there and the cinematography's definitely worth noting. I loved the music in it very much as well. "

"29.5. Ja heti perään toinen japanilaisen elokuvan mestariteos, joka on selvästi Mizoguchin henkilökohtaisimmasta päästä. Naisen asema feodaalisessa Japanissa sekä nykyaikaiseenkin yhteiskuntaan liitettävissä ympäristöissä saa erittäin tarkan läpivalaisun, kun ohjaaja keskittyy yhden naisen elämän suurimpiin pettymyksiin. Oharu ehtii elää kaikissa mahdollisissa yhteiskuntaluokissa hetken, tullakseen aina vain nöyryytetyksi ja häädetyksi alempaan kastiin. Muutamat Kinuyo Tan"
