Japanese director Teinosuke Kinugasa’s electrifying psychological drama holds the legendary distinction as being the most fascinating, perplexing madhouse movie ever made. In a major win for the Inland Northwest, KPAC will present this film exactly as it was intended for Japanese audiences in the 1920s, with a live benshi artist who narrates and provides live commentary. Internationally renowned performer Ichiro Kataoka joins us from Tokyo on a U.S. tour that includes L.A.’s Pacific Film Archive and Harvard Film. He will deliver a unique, unreplicable performance in collaboration with composer Dylan Champagne’s new score for live cello and prerecorded orchestral sound collage.
