Street of Shame Reviews
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The late Kenji Mizoguchi, who directed Ugetsu, failed to show as much imagination in this one as in that one.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A moving study about a group of prostitutes in Tokyo's Yoshiwara red-light district.
New Yorker
David Denby
Of all the films about prostitution, Kenji Mizoguchi's Street of Shame, made in 1956 at the end of his career, is perhaps the greatest.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Well worth seeing, if only as a challenge.
Reverse Shot
Leo Goldsmith
The film's cinematography utilizes an unusual technique for a Mizoguchi film, the close-up, whereby the camera gets steadily closer to each protagonist as the various causes of their downfall to prostitution are revealed.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
one of the great virtues in this tale of vice [is] its studied ambivalence towards organised prostitution, at a time when Japanese attitudes towards the trade were radically shifting.
TV Guide
Renowned for his masterful tales of women oppressed, Mizoguchi offers stinging condemnation of a Japanese tradition stretching back hundreds of years.
