Uwasa no onna (1954)

 

Yukiko's fiance learns her mother runs a geisha house and ends their engagement. She despises what her mother does until one of her clients shows interest and starts to woo her.

Lesser known Kenji Mizuguchi melodrama nonetheless reveals his mastery for realistic, highly dramatic and heart-felt stories of female fates; superb cast, beautiful cinematography and excellent settings all around.

Maltin**1/2: "Minor Mizuguchi."

Barbara (2012)

 

A doctor working in 1980s East Germany finds herself banished to a small country hospital.

Finely directed character study draws a well-observed, realistic depiction of Eat German society and life in the 1980s, a somber melodrama with a touching ending; Nina Hoss is fully convincing in the title role as a woman trapped in the restrictions, but also silently fighting against them.

Maltin***: "Quietly absorbing story...Not every questioned is answered in Petzold's intriguing character study, which also evokes the oppressive atmosphere of life under the watchful eye of the secret police at that time."
