Story of the Last Chrysanthemums
(Zangiku monogatari, by Kenji Mizoguchi, 142 min., 1939)
A majestic and moving Mizoguchi, in which the director refined the style for which he became famous, Story of the Last Chrysanthemums, is set in the nineteenth-century world of Kabuki actors. A young actor is expelled from his family because of his lazy, unprofessional attitude towards the art of Kabuki. He is saved from dissolution by the family's maid, who urges him to perfect his technique. She sacrifices everything for him, and, in the famous final sequence, splendidly shot in the canals of Osaka ; her sacrifice becomes total just as he triumphs as a great actor.
