After World War II, Kenji Mizoguchi was inspired by Italian neorealism to make one of the most emotionally and visually raw films of his career. Filmed on location in Osaka, Women of the Night concerns two sisters - Fusako, a war widow, and Natsuko, in an affair with a narcotics smuggler - who, along with their younger friend Kumiko, descend into prostitution and moral chaos amid the postwar devastation surrounding them.
