### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    5 stars for Gion Bayashi ("The Geisha")
  

*by Z***U on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2014*

Gion Bayashi ("The Geisha") was obviously considered the "B side" to this double-feature in the Mizoguchi Kenji series, but it is in fact a highly important altho undervalued masterpiece, perhaps one of Mizoguchi's 2 or 3 greatest films.  a story of geisha in 1953 Kyoto, it is an engrossing character study of two strong women struggling to survive with dignity in a glamorous but oppressive world.  with superlative performances by the great Kogure Michiyo and her cohort of fine Daiei studio stars.  it is impossible to dislike this film and most will be stunned by it.  the alleged "A side" (Sansho the Bailiff), altho better known, is, by contrast, a depressing and corny adventure/melodrama about slave-traders in ancient times.  it contains Mizoguchi's usual breathtaking camera work and good performances but is ultimately less interesting &/or accessible than the modern "Geisha," or even than the ancient-period "Rashomon" by Kurosawa.

    Gion Bayashi is no mere filler either
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2007*

I bought this for the justly famous Sansho Dayu, and knew nothing about the "B side" Gion Bayashi. This latter film is in fact well worth the price by itself. Kogure Michiyo  as Miyoharu, the elder geisha, is mesmerising and the film packs an astonishing slow-burn punch (if there is such a concept). It's got a lot of interest on a purely cultural level, with all the geisha stuff, and is as visually beautiful as you'd expect from the director of Ugetsu. But what knocks you flat is the power of Miyoharu's story: an abused woman vastly the moral superior of everyone around her, with that extraordinary, apparently passive, strength of so many of the classic Japanese heroines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Blu-Ray
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2013*

I don't think it's necessary to review the movie itself here as Sansho Dayu is one of the most celebrated out there. Gion Bayashi (Gion Festival Music, aka A Geisha) is also included here in HD, but it's no merely a bonus. In my opinion the 1953 movie ranks just a bit below its famous follower.Not having these two, it's a fantastic purchase. Bonus features only include some photo galleries and short but insightful review by some japanese-cinema-crazy critic.The picture quality could be better, I suppose. White, twinkling stripes are visible most of the time, yet everything is sharp and focused. I can't say if this could've been done better, but after all, it's not a Hollywood blockbuster.
