Mizoguchi screenings: don't miss!

I strongly recommend the free Mizoguchi film series at the Union this week and weekend. See details night by night here.

If you're curious about or already a fan of Japanese cinema and haven't seen work by this director, don't miss the rare opportunity to see restored prints of these great films:

Seven Masterpieces by Kenji Mizoguchi
Seven beautifully restored 35mm film prints by Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi, unequaled in their pictorial and narrative richness and emotional force.

All films are FREE and open to the public. Films are in Japanese with English subtitles.
