context_page_description: Orizuru Osen is a 1935 black and white Japanese silent film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, starring Isuzu Yamada. It is based on Kyōka Izumi's novel Baishoku Kamo Nanban.
  Like most Japanese silent films, it played with benshi accompaniment. The film centers on the theme of the strength of a woman who gives everything to the man she loves; a theme which Mizoguchi explored his whole life. The moving camera technique and bold retrospective scenes greatly reflect Mizoguchi's experimental approach.
