Ballad of Orin - Hanare goze Orin - (1977)

Ballad of Orin follows the hardscrabble life of a wandering outcast goze (blind female musician) in early 20th-century Japan. Cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa and director Masahiro Shinoda interviewed surviving goze of the time to capture “a sense of the ideal beauty that these blind women had inwardly visualized.

The film takes place during the first decades of the 20th century, following the story of Orin, blind from birth, from childhood on. The film is told largely from her perspective, from a woman's perspective, which is rare in film, especially Japanese films.

Now I decided to avoid post Japanese movies on my Revista Cine TV channels.They are usually removed ruthlessly by YouTube and a strike to the channel. Here on blog is safer.
