Cheers Jasper.

For some reason it never occurred to me to check Aurum, and you're right, they've included it but obviously couldn't see it. I was interested in it because I know it's a version of the Kaidan Kasane-ga-fuchi, and having watched Nakagawa, Yasuda and Hase adaptations I was curious to see what Mizoguchi brought to his version, although I'm guessing it wasn't as gruesome as the others or as utterly misanthropic and cynical as the Kazuo Hase version. I know few of the pre-war kaidan/horror films have survived.

Right, thanks for your assistance!

Jim.

 It is lost
I am pretty sure. I know probably the reason you are asking
about it is because it was included as an early proto-horror
in the Aurum Encyclopeda of Horror, and this was precisely
because it was released in Europe (because the authors of
Aurum would not have been able to see it and there are quite
a few other titles that would fit the bill too).From my
research a few years back, I know this film was released in
France, but no in the UK, I think - there were simply no
places that would show this kind of thing except Close Up
film club, and from my consultation of their catalogues,
there's no mention of this particular film - although a
few other Japanese films from this period did play at Close
Up. So best to consult french sources, but its worth
remembering that the kind of film culture we are used to
today did not exist so probably it screened a few times and
no one even bothered to so much as register its presence in
any language.This is all from memory, so forgive
my lack of precision. I'm sure there's info out
there, but you might have to head to Paris to find it.

Subject: [KineJapan] Early Mizoguchi film enquiry

Afternoon all

I'm not terribly
familiar with Kenji Mizoguchi's early films, so I wanted
to check a couple of things. Is Kyoren no onna shisho (1926)
a lost film, or do prints (wholly or in part) still
exist?

If it is
lost, was their much written about the film (reviews,
publicity etc) at the time of its release?

Any help would be
much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jim
Harper.
