A Page of Madness with Little Bang Theory and Yamauchi Nanako

Japan/1926—directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa | approximately 75 min.

This uniquely imaginative horror cult classic from the legendary Teinosuke Kinugasa (Gate of Hell) tells the story of a man who takes a job at an asylum in hopes of freeing his wife, who is believed to be imprisoned there. Thought to be lost for over four decades until a print was discovered in 1970, Kinugasa’s singular, avant-garde stunner contains thematic echoes of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari – but with a surreal, terrifying flavor all its own.

“A balletic musing on our subconscious nightmares, examining dream states in a way that is both beautiful and highly disturbing.” – Nottingham Culture, BBC
‎ 
The silent A Page of Madness will be brought to vivid life with music by Little Bang Theory and benshi narration by Yamauchi Nanako performed in Japanese.
