> About the Directory of World Cinema: Japan
>
> From the revered classics of Akira Kurosawa to the modern marvels of Takeshi
> Kitano, the films that have emerged from Japan represent a national cinema
> that has gained worldwide admiration and appreciation. The Directory of
> World Cinema: Japan provides an insight into the cinema of Japan through
> reviews of significant titles and case studies of leading directors,
> alongside explorations of the cultural and industrial origins of key genres.
> The cinematic lineage of samurai warriors, yakuza enforcers and atomic
> monsters take their place alongside the politically charged works of the
> Japanese new wave, making this a truly unique volume.
>
> The ethos of Intellect's 'Directory of World Cinema' as a project is
> probably best communicated by John Berra's editorial taken from the Japanese
> volume, where he comments:
>
> "This was never intended to be a conventional film guide, as the
> overall aim was always to discuss Japanese cultural life and history as
> expressed through the medium of film."
>
> The 'Directory of World Cinema' aims to play a part in moving intelligent,
> scholarly criticism beyond the academy by building a forum for the study of
> film that relies on a disciplined theoretical base. Each volume of the
> 'Directory' will take the form of a collection of reviews, longer essays and
> research resources, accompanied by film stills highlighting significant
> films and players.
