Sansho The Bailiff
is a 1954 Japanese period film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. Based on a 1915 short story of the same name by Mori Ōgai (usually translated as "Sanshō the Steward" in English), which in turn was based on a folktale, it follows two aristocratic children who are sold into slavery. ''Sansho the Bailiff'' bears many of Mizoguchi's hallmarks, such as portrayals of poverty and elaborately choreographed long takes – the director of photography for which was Kazuo Miyagawa, Mizoguchi's regular collaborator. Today, the film is often ranked alongside ''Ugetsu'' (1953) as one of Mizoguchi's finest works. Plot ''Sansho the Bailiff'' is a ''jidai-geki'' set in the Heian period of feudal Japan, with the story taking place in the latter part of the eleventh century. A virtuous governor is banished by a feudal lord to a far-off province. His wife, Tamaki, and children, Zushiō and Anju, are sent to live with her brother. Just before they are separated, Zushiō's father tells him, "Without mer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Bad Sleep Well
is a 1960 Japanese crime mystery film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It was the first film to be produced under Kurosawa's own independent production company. It was entered into the 11th Berlin International Film Festival. The film stars Toshiro Mifune as a young man who gets a prominent position in a corrupt postwar Japanese company in order to expose the men responsible for his father's death. It has its roots in Shakespeare's ''Hamlet,'' while also doubling as a critique of corporate corruption. It is one of four films, along with '' Drunken Angel'' (1948), ''Stray Dog'' (1949) and '' High and Low'' (1963), in which Kurosawa explores the film noir genre. Like Kurosawa and Mifune's next two movies, '' Yojimbo'' (1961) and ''Sanjuro'' (1962), Mifune's character is "a lone hero fighting against overwhelming odds and corrupt authorities." Plot A group of news reporters watch and gossip, at an elaborate wedding reception held by the Public Development Corporation's Vice President Iw ...

Male Actors From Tokyo
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example o ...
