Jishin (Japanese: earthquake) shows an archaic-looking special effect for a Hollywood film of the 1940s: a house begins to sway, stone lanterns fall over, an actor loses his grip. Finally, mountains of debris fill the screen.
The drama is repeated in five successive, slightly varied camera perspectives. The uncut raw material allows an analytical view of the clichéd and scenery-like setting: the disaster is not due to a natural event but to a precalculated performance.
