@vision Mar 28 Crossroads (Jūjiro), also known as Crossways, Shadows of the Yoshiwara or Slums of Tokyo, is a 1928 silent Japanese drama film directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa. It is believed to be the first or one of the first Japanese films to be screened in Europe and often mentioned in conjunction with Kinugasa's other avant-garde film, the two years earlier A Page of Madness. Vision wrote: "the film was not as sincere as it looked. To collect the money, the sister offers herself as a prostitute to a procuress. The decision or choice had to be made. A turning point. Hence, the name crossroads. Three fries for the cinematography, production and acting. Kudos to the sister. See more Read all reviews
