🎬 MovieFinder's Take

"Повесть Тикамацу" (1954) tells its love story without irony and without shame — the filmmakers believe in what they're making.

Worth watching if romantic stories move you — there's something real to hold onto here.

For couples and anyone who believes cinema about love can be sincere.

Director: Kenji Mizoguchi
