Returning to Kyoto after great military successes, a captain is snubbed by courtiers in Tales of the Taira Clan, and the family’s hopes fall on his son. The saga takes place against a backdrop of internecine struggle between the decadent aristocracy and the insurgent monks who are roving the countryside. Women of the Night is Mizoguchi’s response to the cinematic challenge issued by Italian neorealism. Japan’s troubled fate is reflected in the stories of two sisters. One loses her husband and child from the war and its aftereffects, the other becomes her boss’s mistress; together they go into the depths of Osaka’s red-light district, where violence is the only law.
