Director Max Ophuls
Stars Michiko Tanaka, Sessue Hayakawa, Pierre Richard-Willm, Camille Bert Certificate NC Running time 90 minutes Made France 1937 Reviewed by Nic O OPHULS' tragic melodrama about the doomed romance between a Russian officer and a Japanese geisha on the eve of the Sino-Japanese was initially dismissed by many - including the director himself - but deserves a re-appraisal, not least for its use of characteristic Ophuls themes in Mizoguchi territory. |
