Harrowing, Disturbing, Uncompromising
If you do not think you can take graphic scenes of mentally unstable people, this film is not for you.This story is about a man who takes a job at a local mental institution so he can be near his wife, who has gone mad. Throughout this long thought lost film you see clearly harrowing images of people at the institution. The soundtrack only adds to the foreboding. There are people lying catatonic and there is a dancer who doesn’t stop dancing until she drops to the floor, exhausted. The film is 59 minutes long, I think it was originally longer but this was all that was found. There are no inter titles, its a silent film. In Japan, I am certain the benshi narrated the story in theaters, but your imagination has to follow this story. So, why a 7? It is daring, unflinching, brave and both ugly and not at the same time. As a point of reference only, Guy Maddin’s work approaches this. Just know going in there is no happiness here. You won’t soon forget this film. Best idea: Don’t watch it before bedtime, it will stay with you.
Disturbing Film
Most of the film takes place in an asylum. We focus on patients who do repetitive act, losing their connection with reality. We also see a kind of tribalism that gut wrenching. A man who has made the mistake of sending his wife to this asylum decides he needs to get her out. If her mind was not gone when she came in, it has been severely damaged while she has been incarcerated. Not a film for everyone. Unique in its surrealism for Japan in 1926. Claustrophobic, to say the least.
