Movies - Tendency film


A tendency film or keikō-eiga is a name given to the socially-conscious, left-leaning films produced in Japan during the 1920s and 30s. However, with the rise of Japanese militarism in the 1930s, tendency films (as well as any works that were not actively supportive of the war effort in China and the Pacific) were frowned upon or outright censored.

Daisuke Ito's jidaigeki include some well known tendency films, such as 1929's Man-Slashing, Horse-Piercing Sword.

Tomu Uchida's A Living Puppet and Kenji Mizoguchi's Metropolitan Symphony (both 1929) were also tendency films.
