A Page of Madness (1926)
Tuesday, October 27th, 7:00 PM
Slayter Auditorium
This silent film set in an asylum, was directed by Kinugasa Teinosuke, a member of an avant garde group of artists in Japan known as the shinkankaku-ha (or School of New Perceptions) who tried to overcome naturalistic representation. Cut together in a chaotic series, the film’s imagery loosely narratives the story of the janitor of an asylum where his wife is a patient. This film is not intertitled, or subtitled, though screenings in the 1920s would have included live narration by a storyteller accompanied by music.
“Modernism in Japanese Film”
A post-screening talk by Richard Torrance, Professor of Modern Languages, The Ohio State University
Richard Torrance will be speaking on modernism in 20th century Japanese film immediately following the screening of “A Page of Madness.” His talk will address the broad characteristics of modern filmmaking in Japan--the larger context of the creation of films being screened this semester in the East Asian Film and Lecture Series.
