Ugetsu Monogatari (1953) - Kenji Mizoguchi (Eng / esp sub)

In the farming village Nakanogō, on the shore of Lake Biwa in Ōmi Province in the Sengoku period, Genjūrō, a potter, takes his wares to nearby Ōmizo. He is accompanied by his brother-in-law Tōbei, who dreams of becoming a samurai. A respected sage tells Genjūrō's wife Miyagi to warn him about seeking profit in times of upheaval, and to prepare for an attack on the village. Returning with profits, Miyagi asks him to stop but Genjūrō nevertheless works to finish his pottery. That night, Shibata Katsuie's army sweeps through Nakanogō, uprooting Genjūrō, Tōbei and their wives; Genjūrō decides to take his pots to a different marketplace. As the couples travel across Lake Biwa, a boat appears out of the thick fog. The sole passenger tells them he was attacked by pirates, warns them, and dies. The men decide to return their wives to the shore but Tōbei's wife Ohama refuses to go. Miyagi begs Genjūrō not to leave her, but is left on the shore with their young son Genichi clasped to her back. At market, Genjūrō's pottery sells well. After taking his share of the profits, Tōbei buys samurai armor and sneaks into a samurai clan. Lost from her companions, Ohama wanders beyond Nagahama searching for Tōbei and gets raped by soldiers. Noblewoman Lady Wakasa and her female servant visit Genjurō, ordering several pieces of pottery and telling him to take them to the Kutsuki mansion. There, Genjūrō learns that Nobunaga's soldiers attacked the manor and killed all who lived there, except Wakasa and her servant. He also learns that Wakasa's father haunts the manor. Genjūrō is seduced by Lady Wakasa and she convinces him to marry her. Meanwhile, Nakanogō is under attack. In the woods, several soldiers desperately search Miyagi for food. She fights them and is stabbed, collapsing with her son clutching her back.
