About This Movie

I Have Killed is a 1924 drama and crime film directed by an unlisted filmmaker. The story revolves around Hideo, an antiques dealer in Tokyo, who is accused of murdering his best friend, leading to a dramatic courtroom revelation.

I Have Killed is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with very few prints floating around, which adds to its mystique. The film’s rarity means that those who do come across it often cherish it for its unique narrative style and period authenticity. It’s interesting to note how it reflects societal attitudes of the time, giving collectors a tangible piece of history. There’s definitely a growing interest in early Japanese cinema, and this title is a significant piece of that puzzle.
