Ugetsu, with its many adventures and accidents and stories, is a well-constructed work of art, growing out of a sense of drama.

With rare humanity, Mizoguchi reveals the toll these misadventures take on the souls of both men and their wives, many moments an uncanny synthesis of the realistic and the otherworldly.
