  • Kurosawa Kiyoshi Profile Prepared by Richard Suchenski Articles Translated by Kendall Heitzman Profile
    Kurosawa Kiyoshi Profile prepared by Richard Suchenski Articles translated by Kendall Heitzman Profile Born in Kobe in 1955, Kurosawa Kiyoshi became interested in filmmaking as an elementary school student after he saw films by Italian horror filmmakers Mario Bava and Gorgio Ferroni. He formed a filmmaking club in high school and made his first Super 8mm short film, Rokkô, in 1973. Kurosawa continued making short 8mm films as a student at Rikkyô University, where he began to attend classes on cinema taught by Hasumi Shigehiko, the most important film critic and theorist of his era. Hasumi’s auteurist approach and deep admiration for American cinema of the 1950s deeply influenced a generation of Rikkyô students that, in addition to Kurosawa, included Suo Masayuki, Shiota Akihiko, Aoyama Shinji, and Shinozaki Makoto. While still a student, Kurosawa won a prize for his film Student Days at the Pia Film Festival in 1978. After presenting Vertigo College at Pia in 1980, he worked on Hasegawa Kazuhiko’s The Man Who Stole the Sun (1979) and Sômai Shinji’s Sailor Uniforms and Machine Guns (1981). Kurosawa was invited to join the Directors Company, an alternative to the major studios that offered creative freedom to young directors such as Hasegawa and Sômai. Under their auspices, he made his feature film debut with the pink film, The Kandagawa Wars, in 1983. Kurosawa next attempted to work directly for a major studio by directing a Nikkatsu Roman Porno entitled Seminar of Shyness, but the studio rejected the film, claiming that it lacked the requisite love interest. The film was eventually purchased from Nikkatsu and released as The Do-Re-Mi-Fa Girl in 1985, but the incident gave him a reputation as an idiosyncratic character and made securing funding for other studio projects difficult.

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.

  • Asian Extreme As Cult Cinema: the Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies
    Asian Extreme as Cult Cinema: The Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University MA Film Studies, University of British Columbia A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Communications and Arts Hughes 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the way Western audiences respond to portrayals of excess and otherness in Japanese Extreme cinema. It explores the way a recent (2006-2016) cycle of Japanese Splatter (J-Splatter) films, including The Machine Girl (Noboru Iguchi, 2008) and Tokyo Gore Police (Yoshihiro Nishimura, 2008), have been positioned as cult due to their over-the-top representations of violence and stereotypes of Japanese culture. Phenomenological research and personal interviews interrogate Western encounters with J-Splatter films at niche film festivals and on DVD and various online platforms through independent distributors. I argue that these films are marketed to particular Western cult audiences using vocabulary and images that highlight the exotic nature of globally recognised Japanese cultural symbols such as schoolgirls and geisha. This thesis analyses J-Splatter’s transnational, cosmopolitan appeal using an approach informed by the work of Ernest Mathijs and Jamie Sexton, Matt Hills, Henry Jenkins, and Iain Robert Smith, who read the relationship between Western audiences and international cult cinema as positive and meaningful cultural interactions, demonstrating a desire to engage in more global experiences. The chapters in this thesis use textual analysis of J-Splatter films and case studies of North American and Australian film festivals and distribution companies, which include interviews with festival directors and distributors, to analyse the nature of the appeal of J- Splatter to Western audiences.

  • Genre in Asian Cinema: an Introduction
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 46.1 March 2020: 3-10 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.202003_46(1).0001 Genre in Asian Cinema: An Introduction Earl Jackson Department of Foreign Languages and Literature Asia University, Taiwan Patrick Noonan Department of Asian Languages and Cultures Northwestern University, USA The concept for this special topic came from a conversation Patrick Noonan and Earl Jackson began at National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. Patrick gave one lecture on anime at NCTU and one on the films of Yoshida Kiju at National Tsing Hua University. He was also scheduled to give a lecture at NCTU on two Japanese genres: the jidai-geki and the pink film. He did give the lecture, but the evening before, he and Earl had had a long discussion about genres, and they decided that Patrick’s lecture would segue into a conversation between the two of them on the genres they chose. Patrick continued his discussion of jidai-geki, and combined it with the subgenre of yakuza films that also involve swordplay. Earl discussed melodrama, particularly the shift in the political agenda of early postwar melodrama. When the idea of a special issue for Concentric came up, Earl immediately thought of these conversations and suggested “Genre in Asian Cinema” and contacted Patrick. An invitation was sent out and now there are four essays here dealing with different aspects of genre. While we have very specific ideas regarding genre, we did not want to limit the contributions to essays that aligned with our views. In fact, there are essays included that are completely opposed to how we conceive of the categories and perhaps even the stakes involved.

Twenty-two years later, she is known as Meiko Kaji, a stunningly beautiful actress rapidly making a name for herself in Japanese cinema. She appears in numerous hit films, often playing tough knife and sword wielding outlaws and avengers.
