Reading a Japanese Film: Cinema in Context - Softcover
Reading a Japanese Film, written by a pioneer of Japanese film studies in the United States, provides viewers new to Japanese cinema with the necessary tools to construct a deeper understanding of some of the most critically acclaimed and thoroughly entertaining films ever made. In her introduction, Keiko McDonald presents a historical overview and outlines a unified approach to film analysis. Sixteen "readings" of films currently available on DVD with English subtitles put theory into practice as she considers a wide range of work, from familiar classics by Ozu and Kurosawa to the films of a younger generation of directors.

From the Back Cover:
"Here is a much needed book, an expert’s explication of the Japaneseness of the Japanese film, and an adroit teaching on how to read and to savor the ensuing experience." —Donald Richie
About the Author:
