溝口健二60年祭：新．平家物語、山椒大夫

溝口健二拍彩色別有韻味，《新．平家物語》是他僅有兩部彩色片之一，改編經典，這部武士片儘管並非一般溝口的女性電影，但片中女性也傳奇，先後委身朝廷、和尚和武士的母親，即使不羈，影片亦無苛責。法國《電影筆記》驚艷於影片的雅緻，指當代電影全給比下去了。

溝口在《山椒大夫》講了一個命運逆轉的寓言，每場構圖與場面調度都是經典，尤其母子重逢一幕，僅畫面已經震撼。當年勇奪威尼斯影展銀獅獎，法國公映時，《電影筆記》選為是年最佳電影，大衛博維爾更列作世界十大電影之一。

Mizoguchi Kenji, 60th Anniversary: NEW TALES OF THE TAIRA CLAN and SANSHO THE BAILIFF NEW TALES OF THE TAIRA CLAN is a rare color epic by director Mizoguchi Kenji that foreshadows the clash of the Taira and Minamoto clans at the foundation of modern Japan. Unlike other films of the samurai genre, the themes of class and authoritarian injustice, and female bondage are all present in Mizoguchi's sharp observation of social relations. SANSHO THE BAILIFF tells a powerful tale of an aristocratic family, with the mother reduced to prostitution and her children enslaved under the cruel domination of Sansho the bailiff. Ranked as one of Mizoguchi's finest works, the film named best film of the year by Cahiers du Cinéma, and garnered the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
