Sansho the Bailiff

山椒大夫

« Un film d'une beauté sans pareille, du grand maître japonais Kenji Mizoguchi. »

In 11th-century feudal Japan, following the exile of an idealistic governor, his wife and children are separated by slave traders; the children, Zushio and Anju, are sold into brutal servitude under the cruel bailiff Sansho.
