Product Information
Masterful filmmaker Kenji Mizoguchi adapts this story of forbidden love from a traditional Japanese puppet theater repertory, and succeeds in making a touching and gripping tale which is, undoubtedly, essential viewing for any film lover. Based on a centuries-old tale with roots in real events, Her Mother's Profession tells the hauntingly tragic story of a forbidden love affair between a merchant's wife, Osan, and her husband's employee, Mohei, in an era when the punishment for adultery was crucifixion. When a series of innocent events lead to the false accusation of an affair between Osan and Mohei, the accused pair are forced to flee an almost certain death sentence. On the run, the outlaw couple grow closer together, drawn inexorably towards the romantic crime of which they are accused.Product Identifiers
