Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Straightforward adaptation of a famous kabuki/ bunraku play by 16th century master Chikamatsu Monzaemon, about a couple compromised by circumstances who become illicit lovers - and pay the price their society demands. Distinctly pedantic in tone and style compared with Sansho Dayu.Author: TR
