Teinosuke Kinugasa
Teinosuke Kinugasa (1896-1982) is the director of the avant-garde silent movies "A Page of Madness" (1926), "Jujiro" (Crossways) (1928), and also the Cannes prizewinning work "Gate of Hell" (1953). Kazuo Hasegawa (1908-1984), also known as Chojiro Hayashi, was a strikingly handsome actor who made his film debut in "Chigo-no Kempo" (Children's Fencing) in 1927 and became the most beloved onscreen leading man at the time. These two men are widely considered a matchless pair in the history of Japanese film. Since they were both experienced at playing female roles in Kabuki theater, the sword fighting depicted in the films was sophisticated and graceful, and they soon became noted for this. Together, they ushered in the golden age of the production company Shochiku Kyoto. In later years, they worked together at the Toho and Daiei production studios, successfully producing a number of films.
Commemorating Hasegawa's 100th birthday, the Film Center presents a total of 55 films that Kinugasa directed and Hasegawa starred in, from the early silent films to the features produced from the postwar period through to the 60s.
