上田秋成《雨月》溝口健二導演的（1953 年）

 

《雨月》（1953 年）是一部經典日本電影，由溝口健二執導，改編自上田秋成的 18 世紀靈異故事和莫泊桑的短篇小說。故事背景為 16 世紀末的內戰，講述了兩個野心勃勃的男人因貪婪和慾望而導致他們和他們的家人陷入悲劇的故事。

陶工源十郎夢想致富，而他的朋友藤兵衛則渴望成為武士。當他們的村莊陷入戰爭混亂時，他們前往城市出售陶器。源十郎遇見了神秘的貴婦若狹夫人，並被引誘與她同住，但他並不知道她是個鬼魂。同時，藤兵衛拋棄了他的妻子，去追求他的武士夢想，最終獲得了盔甲和作為一名武士的虛假名聲。

源十郎發現了若狹夫人的真相，僥倖逃脫了她鬼魂的控制，回到家中後發現妻子宮城已被士兵殺害。藤兵衛在獲得短暫的成功後，發現他的妻子大濱被迫賣淫。他深感沮喪，發誓要改過自新。

溝口健二的導演風格以其標誌性的長鏡頭和流暢的鏡頭運動增強了影片的詩意和夢幻氛圍。現實主義與超自然主義的融合凸顯了野心、幻想和人類愚蠢的主題。影片批判了戰爭的破壞性和不受約束的野心，揭示了人們的慾望如何蒙蔽了人們的雙眼，使他們看不清現實。

《雨月》仍然是電影史上最偉大的成就之一，因其令人難忘的美感、情感深度和微妙的女性主義主題而受到稱讚。它贏得了威尼斯電影節銀獅獎並影響了世界各地的電影製作人。其幽靈般的優雅和悲劇的敘事使其成為日本電影的不朽傑作。

Ugetsu (1953) is a classic Japanese film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, based on Ueda Akinari’s 18th-century supernatural tales and Guy de Maupassant’s short stories. Set during the late 16th-century civil wars, it follows two ambitious men whose greed and desires lead them and their families to tragedy.

Genjurō, a potter, dreams of wealth, while his friend Tōbei longs to become a samurai. When their village is caught in the chaos of war, they travel to a city to sell pottery. Genjurō meets Lady Wakasa, a mysterious noblewoman, and is seduced into staying with her, unaware that she is a ghost. Meanwhile, Tōbei abandons his wife to pursue his samurai ambitions, eventually acquiring armor and a false reputation as a warrior.

Genjurō discovers the truth about Lady Wakasa and barely escapes her spirit’s grasp, returning home to find that his wife, Miyagi, was killed by soldiers. Tōbei, having gained fleeting success, realizes his wife, Ohama, has been forced into prostitution. Devastated, he vows to reform.

Mizoguchi’s direction, with his signature long takes and fluid camera movements, enhances the film’s poetic and dreamlike atmosphere. The blending of realism and the supernatural underscores themes of ambition, illusion, and human folly. The film critiques the destructive nature of war and unchecked ambition, showing how people’s desires blind them to reality.

Ugetsu remains one of cinema’s greatest achievements, praised for its haunting beauty, emotional depth, and subtle feminist themes. It won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival and influenced filmmakers worldwide. Its ghostly elegance and tragic storytelling make it an enduring masterpiece of Japanese cinema.
