Kenji Mizoguchi's masterpiece Sansho Dayu (1954) retells a classic
Japanese folktale about an eleventh-century feudal official forced
into exile by his political enemies. In his absence, his children
fall under the corrupting influence of the malevolent bailiff
Sansho. In their study of the film, film scholar Dudley Andrew and
Japanese literature professor Carole Cavanaugh highlight the
cultural, aesthetic and social contexts of this film which is at
once rooted in folk legend and a modern artwork released in the
aftermath of World War II. This edition includes a new foreword by
the authors in which they consider the film's contemporary
parallels in modern slavery and children torn from their families
by malevolent authorities.
