> This series offers a rare opportunity to explore the work of three of 
> the undisputed masters of Japanese cinema ? Kenji Mizoguchi, Yasujiro 
> Ozu, and Mikio Naruse.? All three directors got their start in the 
> silent-era and worked prolifically throughout Japanese cinema?s two 
> strongest periods:? the 1930s and the 1950s.? The cornerstone of the 
> series is a program of six films by Kenji Mizoguchi which traces the 
> stylistic, formal, and thematic development of his work from Sisters 
> of the Gion (1936) to such late masterpieces as Sansho the Bailiff 
> (1954).? Representative films by Ozu and Naruse, Mizoguchi?s major 
> rivals in the 1930s, will also be included, suggesting the range of 
> aesthetic options available in the period.
