Mizoguchi would be considered a woman's director meaning he made a lot of melodramas about the plight of women within Japanese society so his films wouldn't have the pyrotechnics of say Kurosawa or Fukasaku. Personally I love Mizoguchi, I watched one of his films yesterday (Osaka Elegy, (1936) from the Artificial Eye Blu box) and for anyone interested in Japan and the Japanese, his films are tremendous...
