SUMMARY:Silent Revue Presents: Cecil B. De Mille's THE CHEAT (1915)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Silent Revue in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nThe Cheat\nDir. Cecil B. Demille (1915) 60 minutes 14 A \nTICKETS \nThe film that solidified Cecil B. DeMille’s name as Hollywood legend—THE CHEAT is scathing in its portrayal of greed\, sexual desire\, and deceit. Starring Fannie Ward and Japanese screen idol Sessue Hayakawa\, DeMille’s scandalous feature was the sensation of 1915\, leading to several riots upon its release. A box office sensation\, it’s “pre” Pre-Code and one of the silent era’s most notorious and transgressive depictions of sexuality and race. \nSessue Hayakawa in his most famous/infamous roles plays Japanese business man Hishituru Tori\, whose sexual obsession with flighty socialite Edith Hardy (Fannie Ward) sparks an illicit business deal. After defrauding the Red Cross to pay off her dressmaker’s tab\, Tori offers to loan Edith the money to cover her crime and keep her powerful husband (Jack Dean) unaware of her shameful deeds. However\, Tori refuses to let Edith pay back her loan\, and instead prefers to take his fee by defiling any pretence of her virtue. THE CHEAT’s “branding sequence” is one of the silent era’s most graphic scenes of violence\, one that leads to the film’s murderous conclusion. \nWhile it is undeniable that THE CHEAT depicts Hayakawa’s character in a racist light\, the actor’s performance\, regardless\, is a triumph. Japanese-Americans protested the film’s initial release\, leading the studio to change Tori’s nationality (as well as his name) to Burmese\, assuming that Burma and Burmese-Americans were too few to cause any real trouble when the film was re-released in 1918. \n \nLive accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis \nSilent Revue is sponsored by Hollywood Suite \nSilent Revue is curated by Alicia Fletcher \nThis screening is in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nPrint courtesy University of Toronto Media Commons \nSpecial Event Pricing $15\, Members $12 \nMore info  \nTICKETS

SUMMARY:Silent Revue presents Dragnet Girl: Ozu's Tokyo Gangster Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Silent Revue in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto \nTICKETS \nBreak out your hip flask and bulletproof vest\, because the third installment of Silent Revue’s series “Deadly Dames” takes you to 1930s Tokyo\, with its underground syndicate of Yazuka and their armed and dangerous mob molls! With a rare chance to see a silent Japanese gangster flick from a master filmmaker\, we know you won’t want to miss this one. \nBefore he was universally acknowledged as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time\, Yasujirô Ozu was a Hollywood-obsessed director for Tokyo’s legendary Shochiku Studios. Producing silent films well into the 1930s (Japan converted to sound much later than the West)\, Ozu produced unique masterpieces that reflected the artistic sensibilities of his country. With DRAGNET GIRL\, however\, Ozu went full Hollywood\, evoking the best of Warner Brothers gangster epics like THE PUBLIC ENEMY\, LITTLE CAESAR\, and SCARFACE. Conflicted gangster Joji (Jôji Oka) seeks redemption in innocent shop girl Kazuko (Sumiko Mizokubo)\, the sister of one his hoodlums. Things don’t go his way when his jealous girlfriend\, the vampy\, complicated Tokiko—played by Japan’s greatest actress and December’s Deadly Dame Kinuyo Tanaka—utilizes her mob connections to seek revenge! \nWhile influenced by von Sternberg and Warner Brothers\, what Ozu achieves\, with the film’s brooding tone and film noir style\, is a uniquely his. We can’t wait to share this one with you! \nSilent Revue is sponsored by Hollywood Suite \nSilent Revue is curated by Alicia Fletcher \nLive accompaniment by Jordan Klapman \nSpecial Event Pricing $15\, Members $12

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: The Stormy Man
DESCRIPTION:The Stormy Man\nUmetsugu Inoue/1957/101 min/colour/PG\n Starring: Yujiro Ishihara\, Kyoji Aoyama\, Fukuko Sayo\, Mie Kitahara\, Masumi Okada \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario \nYujiro Ishihara\, the biggest male film and singing star in postwar Japan\, plays a rough drummer given his big break by female talent manager Mie Kitahara. A series of love triangles set within the Tokyo music scene plays out in moody Eastmancolor\, but this film is less noir than male melodrama: the central problem is neither corruption nor romance but the lack of a mother’s love. Yujiro is both lover and fighter\, performing self-assertion and sexual prowess for male and female audiences in conformist Japan. Directed by Umetsugu Inoue\, one of the major directors of postwar musicals\, who even inserted song and dance performances into his action films.\n-Michael Raine \n© 1957 NIKKATSU Corporation\nRegistration:\n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: Oh! Bomb
DESCRIPTION:Oh! Bomb\nKihachi Okamoto/1964/95 min./b&w/35mm/PG\n Starring: Yunosuke Ito\, Hiroshi Hasegawa\, Kazuo Suzuki\, Ichiro Arishima\, Chotaro Togin \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario \nToho new wave director Kihachi Okamoto tests the limits of the musical comedy in this experimental “rhythm film” that incorporates Japanese forms of “musical” performance such as naniwabushi and Buddhist chant\, as well as direct references toWest Side Story. The zany revenge plot follows the great Japanese character actor Yunosuke Ito as an old-school yakuza replaced by his former underling. There’s also a chauffeur with dreams of the big time and a sidekick who just loves dynamite\, but what ties everything together is a musicality that extends to the editing rhythm of the film itself. Oh\, Bomb! was given a roadshow presentation in 1964\, in a double bill with Hiroshi Teshigahara’s Woman in the Dunes.\n-Michael Raine\n \n©1964 Toho Co.\, Ltd.\nRegistration:\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Japanese Musicals at the Revue: Memories of Matsuko
DESCRIPTION:Memories of Matsuko\nTetsuya Nakashima/2006/130 min./colour/35mm/R\n Starring: Miki Nakatani\, Eita\, Yusuke Iseya\, Teruyuki Kagawa\, Mikako Ichikawa \nIntroduction by Japan Sings! series curator Prof. Michael Raine\, University of Western Ontario. \nA darkly hilarious film about family—the desire for recognition and the pain of its refusal. Cute digital effects and gaudy musical numbers belie a story of abuse that has much in common with Kenji Mizoguchi’s Life of Oharu. Matsuko (Miki Nakatani of the Ring franchise) is found beaten to death in poor suburb of Tokyo. Alienated from her family\, her life is dismissed as meaningless until her loser nephew\, tasked with cleaning up her apartment\, starts to piece it together. The musical interludes transform everyday exploitation into an ironic utopia that only accentuates the overwhelming emotional suffering of the rest of the film.\n-Michael Raine \n© 2006 “Memories of Matsuko” Production Committee\nRegistration:\n \nPowered by Eventbrite
