A Page of Madness

Director: Teinosuke Kinugasa | Japan 1926 | 71 min | DCP | Original version with English subtitles | with Masuo Inoue, Ayako Iijima, Yoshie Nakagawa

The story of a woman who lives as a prisoner in a "madhouse" and is guarded by her husband, who temporarily works there. A cinematically surprisingly "modern" indictment of inhumane custody practices, whose oppressive intensity owes much to the impressive montage.
