Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Life of Oharu (西鶴一代女) is a 1952 film from Japan directed by Kenji Mizoguchi.Oharu is a woman of noble birth, daughter of a samurai who is a member of the imperial household. She falls in love with Katsunosuke, a page (Toshiro Mifune, in a surprisingly small part since he was already a huge star). They are caught together while having a tryst, a tragic event that triggers an unending series of disasters for the rest of Oharu's life. Her boyfriend is executed, but she and her family are kicked out of the royal court and exiled from Kyoto forever. Her father, who now sees her exclusively as a commodity, sells her as a concubine to Lord Matsudaira, who needs an heir and whose wife is barren. Oharu bears him a son, but his wife's jealousy results in Oharu being cruelly booted from the lord's household. Things go From Bad to Worse as Oharu, who now has a reputation as a loose woman, starts sliding down the sex-worker ladder, her life an unending series of misery and pain.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })So if you want a Happy Ending, look elsewhere. | |

| The Life of Oharu / int_1e1aa82a | comment |
Diabolus ex Machina: Oharu makes mistakes a couple of times but just as often is victimized by cruel and random fate. The most random and most crappy bit of bad luck has to be when she has seemingly found happiness as the wife of an affectionate and prosperous fan merchant, only for the fan merchant to be murdered by bandits. And since this is patriarchal Japan, the fan business goes to his male relatives and she is left with nothing. | |

Epic Tracking Shot: Some impressive shots in this movie, like the scene where Oharu gets a letter that her lover Katsunosuke has been executed. The camera follows her out of her parents' house and stays with her as she runs around the forest, freaking out, ultimately trying to kill herself before her mother chases her down and grabs the knife. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Life of Oharu / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The logical conclusion to a series of downers. The movie ends with Oharu being denied a chance to see her son and left as a wandering homeless beggar. | |
