In Tokyo, Osen is the servant girl of an unscrupulous antiques dealer, Kumazawa, who takes in the penniless Sokichi Hata. Kumazawa mistreats Sokichi and Osen, while swindling some Buddhist monks out of their temple treasures. When Kumazawa is arrested, Osen agrees to help Sokichi finance his dream of going to medical school. They live in a humble room, and eventually the only way Osen can find enough money for them is to prostitute herself during the day, without Sokichi knowing. (imdb)

This is a great looking film. I've seen this story before and while this is a good version it would've been better if young Sokichi didn't look to be in his mid 30s. I think I might actually prefer the narrator style silent films over score only silent films.

Strikingly shot by Kenji Mizoguchi! He was really experimenting with the moving camera for this one. The story is about a girl who is under the control of swindlers who use her as bait to get money. One day she finds a poor soul and the mother feeling arises in her and starts to take care of him. And the story shifts between the crime gang stuff and her mothering him. It becomes a little uneven during in the middle part, but the mixed emotions moral tears the heart hard once the end comes along.
