Dear Prof. Miyao,

I can easily check if the Cinémathèque française owns the print of the film. I will ask them and let you know.

Dear Lorenzo and David,

Thank you for your inquiry. I am not 100% sure, but I think the film Balázs discussed is Black Roses (Colin Campbell, 1921). Tsuru Aoki plays Hayakawa's "long-lost" wife in this crime film. The film was released in France (Les Roses noires) in the same year. Because "The Face of Man" by Balázs was published in 1924, the timing seems correct. I am afraid I have never had a chance to watch the film even though Wikipedia says the Cinematheque francaise owns the print of the film (I hope it's true!).

Best,
Daisuke

Subject: [KineJapan] Sessue Hayakawa

This is a quote from Béla Balázs: Early Film Theory. Visible Man and The Spirit of Film, Béla Balázs, Edited by Erica Carter, Berghahn Books, 2010:

An example from one otherwise simple-minded old adventure film. The
Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa is required to act out the following: he is
captured by bandits, and finds himself face to face with his long-lost wife.
He must not betray the fact that he knows her. Five pairs of eyes search his
face as he looks at his wife and five revolvers are cocked to shoot if even a
single muscle in his face betrays the deep emotion he feels at this unexpected
reunion. So he restrains himself. Not the slightest expression passes over his
impassive features. We have to believe that the bandits have to believe him.
Nevertheless – and this is what is so marvellous – we see clearly from his
expression that there is something in his face that we do not see. It is present,
but cannot be pinned down. An invisible but evident expression (p. 103).

Please, does anyone know which movie he is referring to?

Thanks!
