- Title
Reframing Mizoguchi.
- Authors
Barr, Stephen H.
- Abstract
The author examines how Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi uses camera on his films in order to work out problems of narration and point of view. He focuses on the film "Miss Oyu," directed by Mizoguchi, by exploring the camera movement familiar to critics. The camera movement in the film provides an important paradigm in a study which avoids positioning the film in one critical camp or another. In this film, Mizoguchi eliminates the interior narrators and inscribes camera movement in order to shift the orientation of the narrative.
