[4k, 50fps, colorized] (1926) A Page of Madness. Teinosuke Kinugasa.

Lost for forty-five years until being rediscovered by its director in his storehouse in 1971, this expressionist style film is the product of an avant-garde group of artists in Japan known as the Shinkankakuha (or School of New Perceptions) who tried to overcome naturalistic representation. The film takes place in an asylum in the countryside. A young woman arrives and is surprised to see her father, the janitor, working there. Her mother is an inmate in the asylum and had gone insane due to the cruelty of her husband, the janitor, when he was a sailor. The husband, feeling guilty, took a job at the asylum to care for her.
