Ugetsu

“Ugetsu,” directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, is a haunting tale set in 16th-century Japan, where two ambitious peasants, driven by dreams of wealth and glory, leave their village amidst the chaos of civil war. As they pursue their desires, they encounter supernatural forces and face the consequences of their choices, leading to a poignant exploration of human folly and the ephemeral nature of life.
