Storyline
Featured review
Outstanding Japanese Silent
Of the surviving Japanese silent films, this superior costume drama is among the most accomplished. It involves some of the personnel of PAGE OF MADNESS but is realised on a large scale and it has the star of GATE OF HELL here at his peak.
The plot resembles that of the later film - warrior unable to have the woman he wants because of her court status - and it anticipates the kung fu films of the seventies in it's choreographed fight scenes, in one of which the hero defeats the squads of proto ninjas, armed only with a flute.
The design and camera are superior. Only the men's make up suggests it's age.
