The Upstart is a 1921 comedy featuring Goro Kino. Directed by Nakajima Iwajiro, known as the 'Japanese Charlie Chaplin', this film explores themes of greed and obsession.
The Upstart is not easy to come by, often missing from discussions of silent cinema, but it has a niche appeal among collectors who appreciate early comedic works. Various formats have circulated, but the scarcity of quality prints keeps its value in check. Interest tends to spike among those drawn to the unique charm of foreign silent films and the particular comedic styles of the era. If you find a decent copy, it could be a conversation starter in any collection focused on the evolution of comedy in film.
