What Kenji Mizoguchi: The Life of a Film Director Is About
The documentary consists of one director talking about another who was his mentor and his friend. The film rests on thirty nine interviews; among those who speak are actors, writers, producers and people from the technical crew who worked on the sets. Extracts from films and photographs come in between the interviews, so that the way of working being described can be seen at once. The portrait that emerges is not a soft one; how Mizoguchi worked on set, what he demanded and what he put those around him through are all recounted. The documentary came to be counted among the essential records in which Japanese cinema looks at its own history. Because most of those who speak worked alongside him, the account rests on testimony rather than on second hand information. Kaneto Shindo’s hundred and fifty minute Japanese documentary was completed in 1975.
