"Generally accepted as Mizoguchi’s greatest work, Ugetsu is based on supernatural Japanese folk tales by the celebrated eighteenth-century author Ueda Akinari. Mizoguchi is most concerned with a compassionate telling of human sorrow, and he finds plenty of substance in Akinari’s short stories. Infamously uncompromising, Mizoguchi was a perfectionist when it came to all aspects of the process. His visual compositions, the production design, the special effects, the lighting, the performances by the actors (especially Machiko Kyo, who adheres in this case to a more traditionally Japanese theatrical style of performance), and the sound design are all so finely tuned and executed, it’s as though Mizoguchi had the ability to be in multiple places at once."

Revenge of the wooden boards and gorgeous CGI scenery
Once again proves that with the prequels, you can't go wrong with the production design, even if the CGI is heavy. It provides a fitting end to the saga but not necessarily the character arcs. The characters finally have emotions but they still mostly feel like wooden boards so when Anakin turns to the Dark Side, it feels less like a complete shift in his moral compass and more like it just had to happen.
