What happens
Le Galopin (突貫小僧, Tokkan kozō) est un court-métrage muet japonais de Yasujirō Ozu sorti en 1929, d'après la nouvelle The Ransom of Red Chief d'O. Henry. Longtemps considéré comme perdu, une version remontée du film d'une durée de quinze minutes a été retrouvée en 1988 au format Pathé-Baby. En 2016, une seconde copie partielle est découverte comprenant huit minutes inédites, permettant au laboratoire de restauration numérique de l'Université de Rochester d'élaborer une copie d'une durée de vingt-deux minutes au format Digital Cinema Package.
