A really simple story, and a really long movie. The dramatic arc is just not big enough to support its length. Otuku’s death at the end was the only cool thing about it.
Wordy dialogue.
The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (1939) 
Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi

About Me
I'm a photographer, web developer, travel enthusiast, and movie buff living in Alexandria, Virginia, USA.In the summer of 1993, I started writing reviews for every movie I saw and haven't looked back. I'm up to 2,321 reviews now. This makes me cool or a complete dork, depending on your perspective.
Some of these reviews contain spoilers, so if that bothers you, don't read!
