«Ein exzellentes und innovatives Werk Mizoguchis über Kunst, Künstler und Leben (...) Den Bildern des Dramas auf der Bühne stellt er die Bilder des Lebens entgegen – halbnah und in Totale die einen, geschnitten nach westlichem Muster, in minutenlangen Plansequenzen die anderen.» (Harry Tomicek, Filmmuseum Wien)
