Description

The Japanese Cinema Book provides a comprehensive survey of one of the world's most fascinating filmmaking regions. Spanning from renowned directors to neglected popular genres, this publication offers new and surprising perspectives on Japanese film. With a broad thematic approach and significant international range of authors, The Japanese Cinema Book is the largest and most wide-ranging publication of its kind to date. It presents a set of interdisciplinary perspectives based on established and emerging scholars and critics, providing a groundbreaking picture of Japanese cinema as a local, regional, national, transnational, and global phenomenon. The book's innovative structure combines general surveys with micro-level case studies, arguing that there is no single fixed Japanese cinema, but rather a fluid and varied field of filmmaking cultures in dynamic relationship with other cinemas, media, and regions.
