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.

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.

"A balletic musing on our subconscious nightmares, examining dream states in a way that is both beautiful and highly disturbing." – Nottingham Culture, BBC
