The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum
Kikunosuke, the adopted son of a legendary kabuki actor who is striving to achieve stardom by mastering female roles, turns to his infant brother's wet nurse for support and affection--and she soon gives up everything for her beloved's creative glory. Offering a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of kabuki theater in the late nineteenth century, THE STORY OF THE CHRYSANTHEMUM provides a critique of the oppression of women and the sacrifices required of them, and represents the pinnacle of Mizoguchi's early career.
