The Pietermaritzburg based University Film Club's Classic Movie on August 24 is Ugetsu Monogatori, Kenji Mizoguchi's 1953 film. It is widely recognised as a landmark of Japanese and world cinema and is both atmospheric and ravishingly beautiful.

Mizoguchi trained as a painter and the film tells the story of a potter, Genjuro, who leaves his wife and travels to the city to sell his work, but is seduced by a ghost princess.

Films are shown at 18h00 in the CVA lecture Theatre in Ridge Road.
