Film director. Born in Tokyo. Graduated from Tokyo Higher Technical School. In 1913 (Taisho 2), he launched the magazine Film Record (later renamed Kinema Record), which introduced Western films. In 1917, he joined Tenkatsu as an importer, and published Japan's first film creation theory, The Creation and Photography of Motion Picture Dramas. He also advocated a shift from live-action films based on narrators to Western film formats, and launched the "pure film drama" movement. In 1918, in collaboration with young new theater artists such as Murata Minoru, he directed two films at Tenkatsu, The Radiance of Life and The Maiden of the Deep Mountains (released the following year). These two films, which were the first to feature an actress (Hanayagi Harumi) in a Japanese film, can be considered the first works of Japanese New Wave cinema. He went on to direct a dozen silent films by 1923, but none of them were worth seeing.

映画監督。東京生まれ。東京高等工業学校卒業。1913年(大正2)欧米映画紹介雑誌『フィルム・レコード』(のち『キネマ・レコード』と改題)を創刊。1917年、天活の輸入係として入社、日本最初の映画創作論『活動写真劇の創作と撮影法』を出版する一方、弁士主体の演劇実写的映画から欧米映画形式への転換を主張して「純映画劇」運動を展開。1918年に村田実ら若い新劇人と協力して天活で『生の輝き』『深山の乙女』の2本を監督した(公開は翌年)。日本映画に初めて女優(花柳(はなやぎ)はるみ)を登場させたこの2作は、日本映画の最初のヌーベル・バーグともいうべき作品である。その後も1923年までに十数本のサイレント映画を演出したが、みるべきものはない。 [千葉伸夫] 資料 監督作品一覧生の輝き(1918) 『帰山教正著『活動写真劇の創作と撮影法』増補版(1921・正光社)』 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
