Raiden is a 1928 black and white Japanese silent film with benshi accompaniment directed by Shozo Makino and Sadatsugu Matsuda. It is a posthumous work by Makino and is the last film starring his son, Masahiro Makino, in his first role in a comedy film.
Directed by Sadatsugo Masuda, Shōzō Makino, Raiden leans on a strong ensemble — Tōichirō Negishi, Masue Bessho, Masahiro Makino — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1928.
