Kenji Mizoguchi was already sick when he made this studio assignment about five prostitutes in the declining era of the brothel, textbook Mizoguchi territory, and it would be his last film, but there's nothing to suggest a man creating for the last time, it's as vibrant, emotional, and hard hitting as his masterworks twenty and thirty years earlier. Mizoguchi doesn't seem to be as angry as he was in his "Sisters of Gion" days, but the film does tackle issues directly related to the politics of the day, mainly, what are these women to do if prostitution is outlawed, where will they live, work, how will they pay off their mounting debts, and wasn't it men who drove them to this lifestyle in the first place? Criterion shuffled this off to it's Eclipse series, with no extras, but it deserves a more studied look, and if you can watch it, the Masters of Cinema version has a commentary by Tony Rayns, who really knows his Mizoguchi.

Of all the films about prostitution, Kenji Mizoguchi's Street of Shame, made in 1956 at the end of his career, is perhaps the greatest.

Film d'une grande délicatesse. Écriture particulièrement intelligente. Interprétation parfaite.

A beautiful portrait of female prostitutes struggling with life in Tokyo's red light district. Its a really strong story; every character has considerable depth and we follow them through there various struggles, whether it be economic or spiritual. I love how Mizoguchi shows all the horrible things they go through but at the same times really questions if they are better off being a prostitute. It is definetly a thorough examination.

The late Kenji Mizoguchi, who directed Ugetsu, failed to show as much imagination in this one as in that one.
