Synopsis in German
Fünf Frauen unterschiedlichen Alters, die als Prostituierte in einem Bordell in Tokyos Vergnügungsviertel Yoshiwara ihren Lebensunterhalt verdienen, stehen im Mittelpunkt von Mizoguchis letztem Film. Jede voyeuristische Haltung vermeidend, zeigt das Werk alltägliche Situationen, führt Entwicklungen und Veränderungen vor, die sich jedoch letztlich als trügerisch erweisen. Puzzleartig entstehen verschiedene Porträts von Frauen, denen es nicht gelingt, sich aus Abhängigkeit und Fremdbestimmung zu befreien... (Zoom)
