John Ford is truly great filmmaker this is the pinnacle (well in my opinion) of silent film. Margaret Mann is a revelation her performance is so enthralling especially in some of the final scenes at the end of the picture.
The story is a strong one but the direction and the way it is put together is truly sensational Ford himself is Irish and this film i feel may be close to his roots.
I was amazed the film didn't have many title cards however it was so simple to follow and by the end of it you're moved by mann's performance. you feel and care for the characters the whole way through that's the mark of a great film.
And for the film buffs watch the early scenes in the film you got to love the tracking shot the mark of master John Ford

A truly beautiful silent film....Hayakawa is quite extraordinary as madman who believes his wife was stolen by a dragon and that fuels his art.
The standout in this film is the cinematography and art direction although the film was mostly shot in Yosemite Valley California it is completely convincing as Feudal Japan.
This is also 1 of the 1st films for the Hayworth production company which name is a combination of Hayakawa and the director he partnered with William Worthington that sort of thing became more & more common after the Hayworth company started doing well.
Such a unique looking silent film such a beauty to watch
