Hillsborough Classic Film Society
Presents
Sunday, April 13, 2025
2PM
Passmore Center Auditorium/Great Hall (next to Orange County SportsPlex)
Sansho the Bailiff
Criterion Description
“When an idealistic governor disobeys the reigning feudal lord, he is cast into exile, his wife and children left to fend for themselves and eventually wrenched apart by vicious slave traders. Under Kenji Mizoguchi’s dazzling direction, this classic Japanese story became one of cinema’s greatest masterpieces, a monumental, empathetic expression of human resilience in the face of evil.”
Our Speaker

He wrote the screenplay for Joe (2013), a critically acclaimed film directed by David Gordon Green and starring Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan.
