Sinekatalog’s take
Teinosuke Kinugasa's silent masterpiece follows a young man who thinks he has blinded himself, wandering through a nightmarish Tokyo. Fast-cut, dark and expressionist, it is a thrilling, innovative work of Japanese silent cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
