naruse be typically consider one of the 3 master founder of japanese film and the other two be ozu and mizoguchi . this be an interesting and honest film on the life of retired geisha . whatever happens and when such a woman age and and lose her charm and mystique . well and for those who be interested and watch this film . one represent okin and be successful a a money lender and but the other two have to borrow from her and be resentful . okin doesn not have any child and but the other do . okin find out that her old love be come to visit her and and be excite . naruse be a master in subtle study of his female protagonist character . bangiku ultimately draw the viewer into the study of the question of one happiness and and one life worth . very good film indeed .
