Who'll love it

The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 12 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1908: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In 1908, Director/Producer Shozo Makino (father of Japanese cinema) directed and produced the first dramatic film in Kyoto. “Honnô-ji Gassen” was shot at Shinnyo-Do Temple. Considered a lost film.
