Kenji Mizoguchi

**Kenji Mizoguchi** (溝口 健二 *Mizoguchi Kenji*; 16. maj 1898 &ndash; 24. august 1956) bio je japanski filmski režiser i scenarist, koji se smatra jednim od najznačajnih autora japanske i svjetske kinematografije u 20. vijeku. Specijalnost su mu bile socijalne drame, kao i vješto korištenje dugih kadrova, koje mu je donijelo priznanje ne samo u domovini, nego u svijetu.
