From the revered classics of Akira Kurosawa to the modern marvels of
Takeshi Kitano, the films that have emerged from Japan represent a
national cinema that has gained worldwide admiration and appreciation.
The Directory of World Cinema: Japan provides an insight into the cinema
of Japan through reviews of significant titles and case studies of
leading directors, alongside explorations of the cultural and industrial
origins of key genres. The cinematic lineage of samurai warriors,
yakuza enforcers and atomic monsters take their place alongside the
politically charged works of the Japanese new wave, making this a truly
comprehensive volume.
Intellect’s Directory of World Cinema aims to play a part in moving intelligent, scholarly criticism beyond the academy by building a forum for the study of film that relies on a disciplined theoretical base. Each volume of the Directory will take the form of a collection of reviews, longer essays and research resources, accompanied by film stills highlighting significant films and players.
