Description
Book SynopsisLike its predecessors, Directory of World Cinema: Japan 3 endeavours to move scholarly criticism of Japanese film out of the academy and into the hands of cinephiles the world over. This volume will be warmly welcomed by those with an interest in Japanese cinema that extends beyond its established names to equally remarkable filmmakers who have yet to receive such rigorous attention.
Trade Review'This is certainly a book that film students, scholars and Japanese film enthusiasts will enjoy and benefit from having it in their collection.'
