It is rare for a film to score 100% on Rotten Tomatoes but this silent comedy-drama – by a Japanese director so in love with Hollywood and Harold Lloyd, he played truant to visit cinemas – does so. It looks at family life through the eyes of two young rascally brothers, new to their Tokyo neighbourhood, bullied at school and outraged when they discover their authoritarian father is less important than they believed.
With an introduction by film journalist and Silent London blogger, Pamela Hutchinson, and live musical accompaniment from John Sweeney
