Review :
Melodramatic Japanese Soap-Opera
In Japan, after the death of Mr. Masago, her wife Satomi Masago loses the family's company "Lily Cosmetic" to Mr. Mogy due to huge amount of debts relative to withdraws of money from the company made by her husband. Mogy blackmails Satomi's sister Hinako, asking her to marry him and he would not send Masago to jail, and Satomi wrongly understands that Hinako is dating her enemy Mogy. Satomi Masago founds the "Niagera Cosmetic" to compete with Lily and becomes a powerful executive.

When Masago hires her lover Kojima to be the account of Niagera, she finds that Hinatsu is stealing the company with his mistress Yamashita. Hinatsu tries to kill Hinako and she loses her baby. Ejima publishes a book with the scandals of Masago, and her company bankrupts. In the end, the three sisters get rid off their mates and stay together.
I saw this movie in a Brazilian cable television expecting to see another great Japanese classic. I was absolutely wrong: "Bara Gessen" is nothing but a melodramatic Japanese soap-opera, full of scandals, shallow romances and situations. The confused plot begins with many characters without previous development, and is full of ellipsis and insinuations, being sometimes very difficult to follow and understand. I found interesting the story be supported by women, one of them very powerful, as lead characters. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Batalha das Rosas" (Battle of Roses")
