DESCRIPTION:<strong>Wednesday\, January 19\, 8pm</strong>\n\n&nbsp\;\nMusic
 al accompaniment led by&nbsp\;<strong>Tatsu Aoki</strong>\,&nbsp\;Chicago 
 bassist and Associate Professor\, Film\, Video and New Media Department\, 
 School of the Art Institute of Chicago\n\nIntroduction by&nbsp\;<strong>Mi
 chael Raine\,</strong>&nbsp\;Assistant Professor\, East Asian Languages &a
 mp\; Civilizations and Cinema &amp\; Media Studies.\n\nAn extraordinary\, 
 even contradictory\, film in many respects\,&nbsp\;<em>Page of Madness</em
 >&nbsp\;(<em>Kurutta ichipeiji</em>) has been praised as a masterpiece of 
 the political modernist avant-garde\, exposing by breaking all the devices
  of classical narration's ideological transparency and questioning the sta
 bility of the story world itself.\n\nIt was created by a loose collective 
 of avant-garde filmmakers and writers (in particular Kawabata Yasunari\, w
 ho would go on to win the Nobel prize for literature)\, and featured Inoue
  Masao\, one of the most highly regarded actors of his day. "Rediscovered"
  in the 1970s\, the current version of the film is 25 minutes shorter than
  the one that was first released\, emphasizing the avant-garde aspects of 
 the original\, it's impressionist rhythms and kammerspiel-like intensity.&
