ABOUT THE FILM
A critical and popular triumph, OSAKA ELEGY established Mizoguchi as one of Japan’s major filmmakers. The director’s often-used leading actress Isuzu Yamada stars as Ayako, a switchboard operator trapped in a compromising, ruinous relationship with her boss to help support her wastrel father. With its fluid cinematography and deft storytelling, OSAKA ELEGY ushered in a new era of sound melodrama for Mizoguchi. Takashi Shimura plays a police inspector in one of his earliest film roles.
