AFI’s Silent Cinema Showcase returns with another selection of newly restored screen classics and rare gems from the silent era. This formally accomplished and psychologically complex gangster tale pivots on the growing attraction between Joji (Oka Joji), a hardened career criminal, and Kazuko (Mizukubo Sumiko), the sweet-natured older sister of a newly initiated young hoodlum — a relationship that provokes the jealousy of Joji's otherwise patient moll, Tokiko (Tanaka Kinuyo). With effortlessly cool performances and visual inventiveness, DRAGNET GIRL is a bravura work from Yasujirô Ozu.
