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. -

Bamcinématek Presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, Oct 26—Nov 1 Highlighting 10 Tales of Rampaging Beasts and Supernatural Terror
BAMcinématek presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, Oct 26—Nov 1 Highlighting 10 tales of rampaging beasts and supernatural terror September 21, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, October 26 through Thursday, November 1 BAMcinématek presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, a series of 10 films showcasing two strands of Japanese horror films that developed after World War II: kaiju monster movies and beautifully stylized ghost stories from Japanese folklore. The series includes three classic kaiju films by director Ishirô Honda, beginning with the granddaddy of all nuclear warfare anxiety films, the original Godzilla (1954—Oct 26). The kaiju creature features continue with Mothra (1961—Oct 27), a psychedelic tale of a gigantic prehistoric and long dormant moth larvae that is inadvertently awakened by island explorers seeking to exploit the irradiated island’s resources and native population. Destroy All Monsters (1968—Nov 1) is the all-star edition of kaiju films, bringing together Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah, as the giants stomp across the globe ending with an epic battle at Mt. Fuji. Also featured in Ghosts and Monsters is Hajime Satô’s Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell (1968—Oct 27), an apocalyptic blend of sci-fi grotesquerie and Vietnam-era social commentary in which one disaster after another befalls the film’s characters. First, they survive a plane crash only to then be attacked by blob-like alien creatures that leave the survivors thirsty for blood. In Nobuo Nakagawa’s Jigoku (1960—Oct 28) a man is sent to the bowels of hell after fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run that kills a yakuza. -
Film Noir in Postwar Japan Imogen Sara Smith
FILM NOIR IN POSTWAR JAPAN Imogen Sara Smith uined buildings and neon signs are reflected in the dark, oily surface of a stagnant pond. Noxious bubbles rise to the surface of the water, which holds the drowned corpses of a bicycle, a straw sandal, and a child’s doll. In Akira Kurosawa’s Drunken Angel (1948), this fetid swamp is the center of a disheveled, yakuza-infested Tokyo neighborhood and a symbol of the sickness rotting the soul of postwar Japan. It breeds mosquitos, typhus, and tuberculosis. Around its edges, people mourn their losses, patch their wounds, drown their sorrows, and wrestle with what they have been, what they are, what they want to be. Things looked black for Japan in the aftermath of World War II. Black markets sprang up, as they did in every war-damaged country. Radioactive “black rain” fell after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Black Spring was the title of a 1953 publication that cited Japanese women’s accounts of rape by Occupation forces. In “Early Japanese Noir” (2014), Homer B. Pettey wrote that in Japanese language and culture, “absence, failure, or being wrong is typified by blackness, as it also indicates the Japanese cultural abhorrence for imperfection or defilement, as in dirt, filth, smut, or being charred.” In films about postwar malaise like Drunken Angel, Kenji Mizoguchi’s Women of the Night (1948), and Masaki Kobayashi’s Black River (1957), filth is everywhere: pestilent cesspools, burnt-out rubble, grungy alleys, garbage-strewn lots, sleazy pleasure districts, squalid shacks, and all the human misery and depravity that go along with these settings. -

Harakiri, De Masaki Kobayashi (1962)
Harakiri , de Masaki Kobayashi (1962) Le début de l’histoire En 1630, le Japon n’est plus en guerre. Tsugumo, un ronin (littéralement : « homme-vague », un samouraï errant) demande à être reçu au palais du puissant clan des Li. Accueilli par Saitô, l’intendant du clan, le samouraï réclame la faveur d’accomplir le suicide rituel ( seppuku , plus connu en occident sous le nom de harakiri ) au sein de la prestigieuse résidence. Pour tenter de l’en dissuader, Saitô raconte à Tsugumo la misérable histoire de Chijiwa, un jeune ronin venu faire harakiri, quelques mois auparavant, dans des conditions épouvantables. Tsugumo, écoute. Ce sera bientôt son tour d’imposer son récit à tous les dignitaires du clan, obligés de l’écouter. Fiche technique Scénario : Shinobu Hashimoto, d’après un roman de Takiguchi Production : Shoshiku Photographie : Yoshio Miyajima Musique : Toru Takemitsu Interprétation : Tatsuya Nakadai …………………. Tsugumo Rentaro Mikuni …………………....Saitô Tetsuro Tamba …………………… Omodaka Masaki Kobayashi Né en 1916, à Otaru, Kobayashi étudie l’art et la philosophie à l’université de Waseda (Tokyo), avant d’entrer à la Major Shoshiku où il devient metteur en scène. Appelé sous les drapeaux en 1942, il fait la guerre en Mandchourie où il est fait prisonnier par les Américains. De retour au Japon et à la Shoshiku, en 1946, Kobayashi réalise quelques mélodrames de commande avant de réaliser son premier film personnel, La Pièce aux murs épais (1953), inspiré des carnets de notes des criminels de guerre nippons. Sans être lié au Parti communiste japonais comme nombre des cinéastes de son époque, Kobayashi appartient au mouvement progressiste de son pays. -

Masaki Kobayashi Reencuentro Con Un Maestro Del Cine Japonés Diez Films En La Sala Leopoldo Lugones
Masaki Kobayashi Reencuentro con un maestro del cine japonés Diez films en la Sala Leopoldo Lugones El Complejo Teatral de Buenos Aires y la Fundación Cinemateca Argentina, en colaboración con el Centro Cultural e Informativo de la Embajada de Japón, han organizado un ciclo denominado Masaki Kobayashi, reencuentro con un maestro del cine japonés, que se llevará a cabo del jueves 19 de octubre al jueves 2 de noviembre en la Sala Leopoldo Lugones del Teatro San Martín (Avda. Corrientes 1530). La muestra estará integrada por diez films –muchos de ellos inéditos en Argentina-- en copias 35mm enviadas especialmente desde Tokio por The Japan Foundation. Esta retrospectiva recorre una parte sustancial de la obra de Kobayashi (1916- 1996), uno de los realizadores nipones más importantes en la historia del cine de posguerra, incluyendo algunos de sus primeros títulos, nunca antes exhibidos en nuestro país. “De todos los realizadores pertenecientes a la generación que ingresó en la industria durante o poco tiempo después de la Guerra del Pacífico, Kobayashi se transformaría, tal vez, en el crítico social más autoconsciente”. (Alexander Jacoby). “Nacido en 1916 en la isla de Hokkaido, Kobayashi terminó sus estudios universitarios con una especialización en Literatura, pero decidió entregarse por completo al cine, ingresando como empleado raso en los estudios Shochiku, uno de los cinco más importantes de Japón. Permanecería poco tiempo en ese puesto: a comienzos de 1942 fue llamado para formar parte de las filas del ejército nipón. Esencialmente un soldado antimilitarista, como alguna vez se definió a sí mismo, los siguientes tres años (y un cuarto como prisionero de guerra en Manchuria) lo marcarían para siempre, y parte de esa experiencia sería exorcizada años más tarde en su extensa trilogía La condición humana (1959-1961), basada en la novela de Junpei Gomikawa (y exhibida en la Sala Lugones en el año 2000).
