- 100 Years Of Japanese Cinema
Mixing tradition and the avant-garde, Japanese cinema has been dazzling us for over a century with outstanding films of great aesthetic diversity, from genre film (science-fiction, erotic film, etc.) to realism by way of musicals and animation. The first part of the book focuses on the little-known pre-war period, an era of incredible modernity and creativity. The second section traces the surprising trajectory of Japanese cinema from the 1940s to the 1990s, and the third gives voice to contemporary Japanese filmmakers, who provide us with insights on their films. The book looks at classic films by prestigious filmmakers, including Imamura, Kurosawa, Oshima, Ozu, Mizogushi and Naruse, but first and foremost it invites readers to discover a wealth of lesser-known films equally essential to the history of Japanese cinema.
