Tokyo March: A Movie by Mizoguchi From 1929
Tokyo Koshin-Kyoku (Tokyo March): a great early Mizoguchi! The images of the city are fabulous.
The plot seems maybe naive, but there is a tragic episode from Mizoguchi's childhood that resonates here: as the family was struggling with miserable poverty, his sister was forced by their father to become a geisha.
