Editorial Reviews

France released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: Japanese ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), French ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi directed Princess Yang Kwei Fei. When first we see her, the 'princess' (Machiko Kyo) is a mere servant girl. The reigning princess dies, and the emperor chooses the servant as his wife. Jealousy and back-stabbing doom this union from the start. Mizoguchi charactistically explores the plight of women in the face of a repressive, chauvinistic society--in this instance, 8th century China. Princess Yang Kwei Fei was originally released as Yokihi. ...Empress Yank Kwei Fei ( Yôkihi ) ( Joeng Gwaifei )
