Japan: Film

Reviews

A growing collection of reviews of Japanese films.

The Directors

My favorite Japanese directors. I have only gotten around to making the Kurosawa and Mizoguchi pages, but more will follow, time permitting.

• Kurosawa Akira
• Mizoguchi Kenji
• Kobayashi Masaki
• Inagaki Hiroshi
• Miike Takashi

The Studies

There aren't many books on Japanese cinema in English. Apart from the well-known Ritchie, Prince, and Anderson, here are a few others.

1. Kurosawa: Film Studies and Japanese Cinema (Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto, 2000)
2. Sanshô Dayû (Dudley Andrew and Carole Cavanaugh, 2000)
