The Downfall of Osen (折鶴お千, Orizuru Osen) is a 1935 black and white Japanese silent film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. 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.
