死人の蘇生
Resurrection of a Corpse Synopsis
One of the two earliest horror films ever made. This film is presumed lost. In this black comedy scene, the bottom falls out of a coffin, the corpse tumble out, and is jolted back to life. Short sequences like this, as well as street scenes and dancing geisha girls were the main subjects of early Nippon cinema, pioneered by Shiro Asano and Shibata Tsunekichi from 1897 onwards. In creating dramatic, scenes, film-makers naturally chose the most striking or bizarre. Another undocumented film, recalled by cameraman Shiro Asano.
Resurrection of a Corpse (1898) is a horror and comedy film directed by Shiro Asano, released on January 2, 1898. It stars Soujiro Sugiura, Kobayashi Sugiura and Eijiro Hatta.
