Without mercy, men are like beasts.
Watching #SanshoTheBailiff (1954) by #KenjiMizoguchi - It's grim stuff about slavery in classical era Japan.
TwitterLast yr I watched #KenjiMizoguchi film #Ugetsu - Great @ capturing pathos & beauty & #SanshoTheBailiff no exception.
TwitterThere've been some head-scratcher plot developments in #SanshoTheBailiff but the final act looks promising.
TwitterLast 1/2 of #SanshoTheBailiff fell flat. It's beautifully made & a worthy tale, but many character choices lost me.
