  • Mubii Japan 90 Jaar Japanse Cinema
    Filmprogramma Mubii Japan 90 jaar Japanse cinema 25 september t/m 16 december 2015 EYE FILMMUSEUM AMSTERDAM eyefilm.nl/japan Ontdek de Japanse cinema in EYE Wie wil weten wat de Japanse film zo uniek maakt, is dit najaar in EYE op het goede adres. Met een overzicht van ruim veertig titels geeft het filmmuseum inzicht in meer dan negentig jaar fascineren- de filmgeschiedenis uit het Verre Oosten, van de vroege twintigste eeuw tot nu. De Japanse cinema geldt als een van de belangrijkste filmculturen van de wereldcinema, met als boegbeelden de beroemde regisseurs Yasujirō Ozu (1903-1963) en Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998). Er zijn echter meer makers die hebben bijgedragen tot de verrassende veelzijdigheid van de Japanse film; tot hen behoort bijvoorbeeld de in Nederland nog vrijwel onbekende Mikio Naruse, die zich – net als Ozu – een meester toont in de tekening van ogenschijnlijk gewone levens. Mūbii Japan (‘Mūbii’ is fonetisch Japans voor ‘movie’) laat zien dat de reikwijdte van de Japanse film groter is dan de lijst bekende namen. Het programma – met het thema van de tragische liefde als rode draad – is een ontdekkingsreis door de Japanse filmgeschiedenis, van Teinosuke Kinugasa’s stille avant-gardeklassieker A Page of Madness (1926) tot de recente arthousefilms van Hirokazu Kore-eda. Van klassiekers als Naked Youth (Nagisa Oshima) en Ran (Akira Kurosa- wa) zijn in EYE recente restauraties te zien; ook put het filmmuseum uit de eigen collectie met werk van meesters als Ozu en Shohei Imamura en besteedt het aandacht aan de Japanse genrefilm. Fraaie voorbeelden zijn de yakuzafilms (Seijun Suzuki, Takeshi Kitano) en koel gestileerde softpornotitels zoals Love Hotel van de in Nederland nauwelijks bekende Sōmai Shinji (1948-2001).

  • The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema a Thesis
    The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jordan G. Parrish August 2017 © 2017 Jordan G. Parrish. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema by JORDAN G. PARRISH has been approved for the Film Division and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Studies Matthew R. Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract PARRISH, JORDAN G., M.A., August 2017, Film Studies The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis argues that Japanese Horror films released around the turn of the twenty- first century define a new mode of subjectivity: “undead subjectivity.” Exploring the implications of this concept, this study locates the undead subject’s origins within a Japanese recession, decimated social conditions, and a period outside of historical progression known as the “Lost Decade.” It suggests that the form and content of “J- Horror” films reveal a problematic visual structure haunting the nation in relation to the gaze of a structural father figure. In doing so, this thesis purports that these films interrogate psychoanalytic concepts such as the gaze, the big Other, and the death drive. This study posits themes, philosophies, and formal elements within J-Horror films that place the undead subject within a worldly depiction of the afterlife, the films repeatedly ending on an image of an emptied-out Japan invisible to the big Other’s gaze.

Mais rien ne se passe comme prévu, Yoko se sent mal à l'aise partout et, de surcroît, n'a pas envie de s'adapter. C'est qu'elle rêve d'une autre vie... Ce voyage se révèlera pourtant initiatique: à travers les rencontres et la découverte de l'inconnu, confrontée à une culture étrangère, Yoko se découvrira peu à peu elle-même. RÉSUMÉ DU FILM Si le bramul, mythique poisson du lac Aydar, n'est pas dans la nasse, c'est parce qu'il n'aime pas l'odeur des femmes: le pêcheur ouzbek filmé par l'équipe de télévision japonaise explorant la République d'Asie centrale pour une émission animée par Yoko, n'y va pas par quatre chemins en parlant au traducteur.

Three aliens travel to Earth on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for a mass invasion. Having taken possession of human bodies, the visitors rob the hosts of their essence – good, evil, property, family, belonging – leaving only hollow shells, which are all but unrecognizable to their loved ones. Equally hilarious, thrilling, and profound, BEFORE WE VANISH reminds audiences of the continued strength of one of Japanese cinema's most unique auteurs – and the value of the human spirit. INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR KIYOSHI KUROSAWA (Translated from Japanese) WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TURN “BEFORE WE VANISH”, A WELL-KNOWN THEATRE PLAY IN JAPAN, INTO YOUR NEXT FILM? This film is a largely faithful adaptation of Tomohiro Maekawa’s play. I wanted to stick to the setting of the play as closely as possible. In other words, it’s set in a place with a U.S.

Dabei läuft nichts wie geplant. Yoko fühlt sich überall unwohl, will sich auch nicht recht auf Land und Leute einlassen. Doch der Auf- enthalt soll zu ihrer Initialreise werden. Konfrontiert mit einer fremden Kultur, entdeckt Yoko nach und nach sich selbst. INHALT LANG Wenn der Bramul, der mythische Fisch des Aydar-Sees, nicht ins Netz gehen will, liegt das daran, dass er den Geruch von Frauen nicht mag: Der usbekische Fischer, der vom japanischen Fernsehteam beim Erkunden der Zentralasiatischen Republik gefilmt wird, macht sich erst gar nicht die Mühe, sich Yoko mithilfe des Dolmetschers zu erklären. Das ist verletzend für die Starmoderatorin, die auf diesem Dreh Enttäuschung um Enttäuschung hinnehmen und dabei gute Mine machen muss.
