Quite short and surprisingly dull, Mizoguchi takes his audience to nowhere near his supposedly main objective: the role of geisha.

This here is a little gem of a film. It lasts only 70 minutes, but Mizoguchi fleshes out complete, realistic characters. Not only that: in the short running time, you connect with the sisters, and feel their troubled life, and by the final scenes, you'll be feeling as hopeless as them. This is no merry film, I must say. It made me feel sad, even mad at myself for being a man :P Mizoguchi defends women bravely and with his beautiful, detached, paced, and careful art, in this little great movie.

Some good visuals, pretty good story. Eh, it was alright.

An interesting pre-war Japanese movie about Geisha sister's. One of the sister's doesn't want to be a Geisha and downgrade men generally.

A kindhearted geisha takes in a former client who has fallen on hard times, prompting her younger sister to seek wealthy patronage by fair means or foul. Who will prosper, the generous or the greedy sister? Well, neither one actually, which is precisely the point that Mizoguchi is making here: honourable or selfish, the geisha will be exploited just the same; she cannot win. The ending, a passionate tirade against the continuing existence of geisha girls in Japanese society, is bleak and powerful, but the male bad behaviour that sets it up feels a mite forced and unconvincing, out of character even. The two women are great though, especially Omocha (Isuzu Yamada), the younger sister, whose femme fatale-like duplicity drives the narrative. Lovely camerawork.
