About the Directory of World Cinema: Japan
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 unique volume.
The ethos of Intellect's 'Directory of World Cinema' as a project is
probably best communicated by John Berra's editorial taken from the Japanese
volume, where he comments:
"This was never intended to be a conventional film guide, as the
overall aim was always to discuss Japanese cultural life and history as
expressed through the medium of film."
The '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.
