And with this exquisite ghost story, a fatalistic wartime tragedy derived from stories by Akinari Ueda and Guy de Maupassant, he created a touchstone of his art, his long takes and sweeping camera guiding the viewer through a delirious narrative about two villagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune leads them far astray from their loyal wives. Moving between the terrestrial and the otherworldly,  Ugetsu  reveals essential truths about the ravages of war, the plight of women, and the pride of men. Ugetsu  was restored by The Film Foundation and Kadokawa Corporation at Cineric Laboratories in New York.

It is based on two stories in Ueda Akinari's 1776 book of the same name, combining elements of the jidaigeki (period drama) genre with a ghost story. Drawing from Ueda's tales \"The House in the Thicket\" and \"The Lust of the White Serpent\", the film is set in Japan's civil war torn Azuchi–Momoyama period (1568–1600). In a small rural community, a potter leaves his wife and young son behind to make money selling pottery and ends up being seduced by a spirit that makes him forget all about his family. A subplot, inspired by Guy de Maupassant's 1883 short story \"How He Got the Legion of Honor\" (\"Décoré !\"), involves his brother-in-law, who dreams of becoming a samurai and chases this goal at the unintended expense of his wife. The film won the Silver Lion Award at the 1953 Venice Film Festival and other honours. Ugetsu is one of Mizoguchi's most celebrated films, regarded by critics as a masterpiece of Japanese cinema, credited with simultaneously helping to popularize Japanese cinema in the West and influencing later Japanese film.",1322124002,1767744775,"eng",756,{"channelId":9,"sourceId":25,"id":25,"title":26,"description":27,"size":28,"addedAt":21,"language":22,"downloads":29,"type":9,"channelName":15},"ugetsu-1953-restored-720p-hd","Ugetsu (restored, Eng sub) (1953, Japan, drama, imdb score: 8.2)","Ugetsu , also known as  Tales of Ugetsu ,  The Tales of the Wave after the Rain Moon  and  Ugetsu Monogatari  ( 雨月物語 ), is a 1953 Japanese  romantic   fantasy   drama film  directed by  Kenji Mizoguchi  and based on stories in  Ueda Akinari 's 1776  book of the same name .
