I will review this article. Thank you.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 09:01, 15 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Lead
  • "masterpiece" sounds and reads better than "masterwork" IMHO.
  • "It is credited with simultaneously helping to popularize Japanese cinema in the West and influencing later Japanese film." — "It is credited with simultaneously helping to popularise Japanese cinema in the West and influencing later Japanese films."
Plot
  • It is above the 400-700 barrier (779 words to be exact). Try and trim it down. Otherwise, this section is good.
Production
Themes and Release
Reception
  • BTW, a mention of Anderson's opinion on Ugetsu would be good (If it is stated in Wakeman's book). Otherwise, leave it as it is.
  • "Ugetsu opens with a long panorama around a lake, a shot which begins on the far shore and then tilts down to reveal the village at the conclusion. It closes with the child and the father offering a bowl of rice at the mother's grave ... with the camera moving off into an upward tilting panorama which describes the movement of the opening." — Borders on WP:QUOTEFARM here. Consider explaining part of the sentence a bit rather than quoting it.
