I went to see the movies Ugetsu and Sisters of Gion last night at the Wexner Center for the Arts. I enjoyed Sisters of Gion more than Ugetsu, because Sisters of Gion was a contemporary movie (contemporary for its time at least—it was made in the 1930’s), while Ugetsu was a historical movie set in the 1600’s. It was interesting for me to see what life was like in Japan in the 1930’s, so that’s why I liked Sisters of Gion. It was really well-done—it’s amazing to think that it’s 70 years old.
