Kinugasa Teinosuke's avant-garde behavior
In 1926, he produced the avant-garde movie "A Page of Madness". Although it is a silent movie, there are no explanation subtitles or conversation subtitles, and the past and present intersect in the video, and reality and dreams intersect. In addition to that, the subjective image of a madman is added, and the chaotic inner world where animation and madness are combined is developed purely with images.
The 1919 German movie "Dr. Caligari" visualizes the inner world of the madness with a... -

In order to change people's impression of movies, many filmmakers have begun to explore the art of film, and the most direct one is the imitation and reference of Japanese filmmakers to European and American film styles.
In 1919, Guishan...

A hundred years ago, Japan was fully integrated into the world. Modern dance, distorted images, and exaggerated expressions are almost a copy of German Expressionism. It's exciting to express Kawabata Yasunari's story like...

A masterpiece of international stylization, a collection of French Impressionism, German Expressionism and Soviet montage, dissolves, morphs, and various push-pull panning shots. It reflects the madness deep inside people, in contrast to the politeness at the end. Us under the mask, others under the mask, redemption and...
