Get swept away by the haunting beauty of “The Dragon Painter.” Starring the incredible Sessue Hayakawa, this film tells the tale of Tatsu, a passionate artist who loses himself in his art—literally! Believing his beloved princess has been captured by a dragon, Tatsu’s obsession blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. This is more than just a love story; it’s a piece of cinematic history. Once thought lost, “The Dragon Painter” is a treasure of Asian-American film that you won’t want to miss. Come see for yourself why Sessue Hayakawa was a true star of the silent era!
