broken chords can sing a little

We watched A Page of Madness in film class on Wednesday. Apparently the only known prints of the film were thought to be lost/destroyed for about 50 years until a copy was found inside a barrel of rice...somewhere in Japan *totallypaidattentiontoclass*. And what a find! The movie was... intriguing, but very hard to watch. It was a silent film, with no cards, featuring the most repetitive, discordant soundtrack. Based in an insane asylum, it followed a man who recently left his wife, causing her to go insane and drown their infant child. She had been committed, and he had taken up a janitorial position to watch after her. There's no real cohesive whole, mostly just short bursts of scenes, not directly related to each other, with interspersed flashes of light. The introductory text indicated that the 1920's Japanese audience found the 60 minute movie exhausting...

Me too.
