Subject:

Description:

Knowledge of Japanese not required. This course surveys Japanese cinema from its prehistory to the work of contemporary transnational auteurs. We focus on both aspects of the object of study: Japan and the cinema. A "moment" from the history of Japanese cinema is presented each week along with a methodological issue in film studies brought into focus by it. We pay attention to the masters of Japanese cinema (e.g., Mizoguchi, Ozu, Kurosawa), but we also study film in relation to broader cultural movements. Texts in English and the original. M. Raine. Autumn.
