Double bill of classic movies from director Kenji Mizoguchi. 'Ugetsu Monogatari' (1953) is set in 16th Century Japan where the Emperor has become an impotent figurehead, and rival warlords battle for supremacy. Impoverished potter Genjuro (Masayuki Mori) leaves his wife (Kinuyo Tanaka) and son to conduct an affair with the beautiful Lady Wasaka. However, his romantic idyll is soon to be shattered. Meanwhile, fellow villager Tobei (Sakae Ozawa) attempts to pursue his ambition to become a samurai. 'Oyu-sama' (1951) tells the story of two sisters and their ill-fated relationship with the same man. Tayaka plays the eponymous Oyu, the older sister of Otsugi (Reiko Kongo) who allows marital customs to dictate the lives of those caught up in this complex love triangle.
