The Golden Bullet (Benshi Version)
Director(s)
Hiroshi Innami
Year
1927
Duration
90 min
Country
Japan

Hiroshi Innami's first film is a startling hybrid that combines a detective plot transposed from a British novel with American-style cross-cutting, sets influenced by German Expressionism, and location footage from the Foreign Settlements and surrounding mountains of Kobe, Japan. The film was restored and rediscovered by the Kobe Planet Film Archive and is presented here with English subtitles, piano music, and an accompanying narration by legendary benshi Kumiko Omori.
