路上の霊魂

a film by Minoru Murata

A curious 1921 silent film said to be in part based on Gorky’s На дне (The Lower Depths) although I failed to see that part. At 91 minutes, Rojō no Reikon is way too long for the message but it has its lovely and even comic moments.

Souls on the Road was an opening feature of this year’s Week of Japanese Cinema in Casa de Colón and the only one I’ve seen this time.
