| NOTA |
(★)(This is a passionate, personal journey through one of the world`s greatest national cinemas, beginning with the classic directors who came to the fore in the postwar period and became legendary names on the art house circuit : Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Ozu, Kobayashi, Naruse, and Oshima, among others. It traces the common themes explored by these directors as well as the impact of important historical and cultural issues, including World War 2, the representation of women, and the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s. Finally, Peter Cowie surveys the state of contemporary Japanese film and its greatest living practitioners, Hirokazu Kore-eda among them, as well as the international face of Japanese animation, Hayao Miyazaki. Cowie brings a lifetime`s commitment to film to bear on the human relationships so well explored by these Japanese auteurs.／ ◆Peter Cowie has spent his life writing about cinema, in particular about the prodigious talents that emerged during the 1950s and 1960s such as Ingmar Bergman and Akira Kurosawa. His more than thirty books include studies of the work of John Ford, Francis Ford Coppola, and the iconic actress Louise Brooks. Cowie has traveled throughout Japan on several occasions and is an avid fan of its history, literature, and cinema.／ ▼CONTENTS／ ●PREFACE ●1.THE SAMURAI WORLD (Akira Kurosawa) ●2.THE NEED FOR COMPASSION (Kenji Mizoguchi) ●3.WOMEN IN THE FLOATING WORLD (Hiroshi Shimizu, Mikio Naruse & Keisuke Kinoshita) ●4.HARMONY AND DISHARMONY (Yasujiro Ozu) ●5.THE ART OF APPEARANCES (Kon Ichikawa) ●6.THE SHADOW OF WAR (From Kinoshita to Kobayashi) ●7.THE SHOCK OF THE 1960S (Nagisa Oshima, Masahiro Shinoda & Hiroshi Teshigahara) ●8.PERIOD OF TRANSITION (Juzo Itami, Naomi Kawase & Hirokazu Kore-eda) ●9.THE ANIMATOR AS AUTEUR (Hayao Miyazaki) ●CONCLUSION ●ENDNOTES ●SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY ●INDEX OF FILMS) |
