Query: Could have been better

Miyoko Shji tried to be far too clever for his own good. I liked the flashbacks of the actresses life throughout different periods of Japanese history and would have been fully satisfied with watching how her life played out. Shji detracted from the film by inserting the interviewer and the cameraman within the flashbacks which, after awhile, became annoying. And elements that intertwined the actress's real life with her stage life was more confusing than imaginative. I suppose with an 87 minute long movie, Shji had to find some way to fill up time.The visuals were great. Everything else detracted from it.
