It ranges from renowned directors such as Akira Kurosawa to neglected popular genres such as the film musical and encompasses topics such as ecology, spectatorship, home-movies, colonial history, and relations with Hollywood and Europe. The book presents a set of new, and often surprising, perspectives on Japanese film, with its plural range of interdisciplinary perspectives based on the expertise of established and emerging scholars and critics. Its innovative structure combines general surveys of a particular historical topic or critical approach with various micro-level case studies, arguing that there is no single fixed Japanese cinema, but instead a fluid and varied field of Japanese filmmaking cultures that continue to exist in a dynamic relationship with other cinemas, media, and regions. The book is divided into seven inter-related sections: Theories and Approaches, Institutions and Industry, Film Style, Genre, Times and Spaces of Representation, Social Contexts, and Flows and Interactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1338g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190 x 245 x 29 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781844576784                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094175052026,"sku":"9781844576784","price":31.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/614faf9ec624b48500ec4b189476eb69.jpg?v=1625105082","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/japanese-cinema-book","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
