Ugetsu monogatori [Tales of Moonlight and Rain] (1953)
A film of rare spiritual lyricism. Visually and emotionally moving, it underlines the beauty and eternity of love & relationship over material wealth. A genuine masterpiece with some stunning camera-work. Camera is in constant motion, symbolize not only the era and the central characters but, by implication, all of human life in the film. Especially in the long panning shot (almost a 360 degree shot) of the reunion near the end, adds a deep emotional impact to the story.
