An Osaka Story
Kōzaburō Yoshimura: Tides of Emotion
December 5 - 11, 2025
An economic tragicomedy originally meant to be the final project of Kenji Mizoguchi, this wry, unsentimental parable on the perils of capitalism follows a peasant family on their journey to deranging wealth.
An economic tragicomedy adapted from a story by the Edo-era satirist Ihara Saikaku, this film was originally meant to be the final project of Kenji Mizoguchi, to whom Kōzaburō Yoshimura had been compared throughout his career. In Yoshimura’s hands, An Osaka Story is a wry, humorous, and unsentimental parable on the perils of capitalism, following the schemes and blowups of a peasant family on their journey to ill-gotten, deranging wealth.
