  • Thirteen Feature Films by Kon Ichikawa to Be Presented
    'he Museum of Modem Art %'^ Vest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart Wo. 20 FOR IM^'TEDIATE RELEASE Friday, February 10, 1967 Thirteen feature films by the Japanese director Kon Ichikawa will be presented by the Department of Film of The Museum of Modem Art from February 12 through February 27• The films range from Ichikawa's satirical comedies of the early *50*s to the more recent tragedies attempting to show the "pain of our age»" All of the films are in Japanese with English subtitles. Describing his work, Ichikawa says, "I try to visualize everything...I'm the kind of person who has to see something — even in my own imagination «•- before I understand it. I started as a painter and I think like one. That is wl:^ the camera is so important to me« I plan all the set-ups and I always check the framing, and I usually try to work with (a cameraman) I know.•••I design the sets too, usually... and I'd probably do the music too if I could." Film critic Donald Richie describes the resulting "Ichikawa look": "The angular pattern is usually bold, the balance is almost always asymmetrical, the framing is precise, and yet the composition rarely calls attention to itself*" At 18 after graduation from an Osaka commercial school Ichikawa began studying animation and in 19h6 completed a puppet-film based on a famous Kabuki dance. (The Occupation authorities, concerned with discovering "feudal remnants," seized the neg­ ative and it has never been found.) After that, Ichikawa joined Toho Production Company and began making satirical comedies until 1955 when he switched to more serious subject matter with The Burmese Harp* He says, "I had become aware that men are unhappy.

Director and cinephile Peter Bogdanovich (who almost made an early version of Lonesome Dove during the era of the revisionist Western) writes that “There are no ‘old’ movies—only movies you have already seen and ones you haven't.” With all that in mind, our Fall 2012 selections presented at 4070 Vilas Hall, the Chazen Museum of Art, and the Marquee Theater at Union South offer a moveable feast of outstanding international movies from the silent era to the present, some you may have seen and some you probably haven’t. Retrospective series include five classic “Anti-Westerns” from the late 1960s and early 70s; the complete features of Russian master Aleksei Guerman; action epics and contemplative dramas from Japanese filmmaker Kenji Misumi; a breathtaking survey of Italian Masterworks from the neorealist era to the early 1970s; Depression Era comedies and dramas with scripts by the renowned Preston Sturges; and three silent comedy classics directed by and starring Charles Chaplin. Other Special Presentations include a screening of Yasujiro Ozu’s Dragnet Girl with live piano accompaniment and an in-person visit from veteran film and television director Tim Hunter, who will present one of his favorite films, Tsui Hark’s Shanghai Blues and a screening of his own acclaimed youth film, River’s Edge.

Wilson 2015 iii UNSEEN FEMININITY: WOMEN IN JAPANESE NEW WAVE CINEMA Candice N. Wilson, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 During the mid-1950s to the early 1970s a subversive cinema, known as the Japanese New Wave, arose in Japan. This dissertation challenges critical trends that use French New Wave cinema and the oeuvre of Oshima Nagisa as templates to construct Japanese New Wave cinema as largely male-centered and avant-garde in its formal aesthetics. I argue instead for the centrality of the erotic woman to a questioning of national and postwar identity in Japan, and for the importance of popular cinema to an understanding of this New Wave movement. In short, this study aims to break new ground in Japanese New Wave scholarship by focusing on issues of gender and popular aesthetics.
