Description
Exploring the work of the greatest Japanese filmmakers Until recently, the western world has viewed Japanese cinema through a very narrow prism. For years, Westerners interested in Japanese film had to content themselves with the collected works of Akira Kurosawa, a spotty sampling of films by Kenji Mizoguchi and Yasujiro Ozu, gobs of anime, and badly dubbed monster movies. Many great filmmakers like Mikio Naruse and Keisuke Kinoshita have remained unknown in the West, and Japanese musicals show more and comedies are hardly known outside Asia. This volume sets the record straight, illustrating an in-depth history of Japanese cinema with vivid posters and stunning photography. show lessTags

Bis vor kurzem war das japanische Kino in der westlichen Welt noch weitgehend unbekannt. Jahrelang mussten sich Liebhaber des japanischen Films mit den gesammelten Werken Akira Kurosawas, lausigen Aufarbeitungen der Filme von Kenji Mizoguchi und Yasujiro Ozu, Tonnen von Animes und schlecht synchronisierten Horrorfilmen zufrieden geben. Viele der großartigen Filmmacher wie Mikio Naruse und Keisuke Kinoshita blieben im Westen unentdeckt und auch die japanischen Musicals und Comedies sind außerhalb Asiens kaum jemanden ein Begriff. Diese Sammlung holt das Versäumte nach: Kraftvolle Poster und hinreißende Fotografien illustrieren die Geschichte des japanischen Kinos.
