DESCRIPTION:Dir. Kenji Mizoguchi. 1936\, 71 mins. 35mm print from the Japan
  Foundation. With Isuzu Yamada\, Seiichi Takegawa\, Chiyoko Okura\, Shinpa
 chiro Asaka. “In this film the mature Mizoguchi style emerges for the firs
 t time\,” wrote film scholar Joan Mellen. Ayako is barely making ends meet
  by working as a switchboard operator to support her family\, so she becom
 es her boss’s mistress\, and hardens herself into the role of a moga (“mod
 ern woman”). Mizoguchi said that Osaka Elegy was the film with which he fo
 und his true direction\, and it is evidently among his most personal—Ayako
 ’s feckless father is rumored to be based on the director’s own. Capped by
  a devastating final shot\, it is also a trenchant social criticism\, and 
 after 1940 was banned by the military government. \n\n\n	Free with Museum 
 admission on a first-come\, first-served basis. Museum members may reserve
  tickets in advance by calling 718 777 6800. For more information on membe
