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.

Over time, Japanese New Wave Cinema has come to occupy a central position within the narrative history of Japanese film studies. This position has helped introduce many significant films while inadvertently ostracizing or ignoring the much broader landscape of film at this time. This thesis seeks to complexify the New Wave’s central position through the career of Daiei Studios’ director, Masumura Yasuzo.

  • A Double Edged Sword: the Films of Shintaro Katsu & Raizo Ichikawa
    The Double-Edged Sword: The Films of Shintaro Katsu & Raizo Ichikawa © 1964 Kadokawa Pictures, Inc. The 1960s saw two of the most popular stars of Japanese post-WWII cinema grace movie screens. Like a strange but wonderful hybrid of Charlie Chaplin, Robert Mitchum, Wallace Beery and Clint Eastwood, Shintaro Katsu started out at Daiei Studios in the mid-1950s and labored pretty much unrecognized in period action movies and the occasional more serious “arthouse” film until 1962. That was the year he starred as a wandering blind masseur tired of being picked on who learns to wield a sword in Tale of Zatoichi (Zatoichi Monogatari) directed by unsung master Kenji Misumi. It was popular enough to warrant a sequel, and Katsu’s real-life brother Tomisaburo Wakayama played Zatoichi’s estranged brother and nemesis in the action-packed follow-up, The Tale of Zatoichi Continues (Zoku Zatoichi Monogatari). After that, with the box office breaking records, Daiei developed the character into a series of films. Katsu continued to portray the beloved blind swordsman in 26 movies as well as over 100 episodes on television. His last appearance as the humble, wisecracking anti-hero was in 1989 in Zatoichi (a film Katsu also directed). Katsu also starred in several of nouvelle vague director Yasuzo Masumura’s most memorable pictures, including Hoodlum Soldier (Heitai Yakuza) and Yakuza Masterpiece (Yakuza Zessho). In the late 1960s, Katsu formed his own production company, going on to produce most of the later Zatoichi films as well as all six of the Lone Wolf and Cub series (once again starring his brother, Tomisaburo Wakayama).

  • The Japanese Film Festival Announces 2018 Classics Program
    MEDIA RELEASE: WEDNESDAY 15 AUGUST THE JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2018 CLASSICS PROGRAM From star-crossed lovers in the Meiji era to early feminists fighting societal norms, the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) presents a FREE classic film program from 29 September – 2 December. The Festival will present a curated program: Passion & Obsession in Sydney with an abridged version in Melbourne and Canberra. Featuring works adapted from novels by celebrated authors such as Junichiro Tanizaki and Kyoka Izumi, the program showcases influential works from cinematic masters from the Japanese Golden Age and New Wave. Highlights include: The Pornographers, Cannes Palme d’Or-winning filmmaker Shohei Imamura’s darkly comical portrayal of a pornographer hustling to keep his business alive amidst Japan’s post- war economic boom; and Japanese auteur Seijun Suzuki’s multi-award-winner Kagero-za, an adaptation of Kyoka Izumi’s story of a playwright who meets a beautiful woman he suspects is the ghost of his patron's deceased wife. Novelist-turned-politician Shintaro Ishihara’s seminal Sun Tribe classic Juvenile Jungle will also screen. Exploding into a cultural phenomenon soon after its release, this controversial depiction of the sexual revolution of disillusioned post-war youth stars Yujiro Ishihara, the James Dean of Japan. “The 2018 program depicts passion and obsession in varying shades of eroticism, ranging from melodramatic romance to fraught love affairs,” said Japanese Film Festival Program Coordinator Alison Groves. “Beneath the drama, these films also offer us fascinating glimpses into the many different faces of Japan throughout the decades.” Two films offer intriguing insights into the world of geisha.

  • Masumura Yasuzō a Breakthrough in the Wall of Japanese Cinema
    Rethinking Nature in Post-Fukushima Japan Facing the Crisis edited by Marcella Mariotti, M. Roberta Novielli, Bonaventura Ruperti and Silvia Vesco Masumura Yasuzō A Breakthrough in the Wall of Japanese Cinema Maria Roberta Novielli (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract A few fundamental events contributed to create a revolution in the world of Japanese cinema during the 1950s, drastically cutting its links with the past and stimulating a completely different way to make movies. One of the main authors to stress the need for a complete change was MasumuraYasuzo. He had been studying for two years (1952-54) in Rome, an experience which enabled him to introduce a new kind of approach to human beings into Japan. Masumura’s refusal for the classical atmosphere of Japanese cinema, often referring to nature as a metaphor of the existence, together with what he had learnt in Italy, gave birth to some of his masterpieces, where the fictional universe works as a frame for depicting a dialectic mixing of freedom and individuality. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Masumura Yasuzō’s Years of Learning and the Italian Experience. – 3 Back to Japan and the Debut as a Filmmaker. – 4 The Need to Break with the Past. – 5 The Reactions of the New Cinema and the Challenge of Giants and Toys. Keywords Masumura Yasuzō. Japanese Cinema. Nature. Japanese New Wave. Film production. 1960s. 1 Introduction During the 1950s, Japanese cinema reached its peak not only on an artis- tic and narrative level, but also from a business point of view. As a con- sequence of the huge number of foreign movies imported to Japan, the number of movie theatres quickly increased and the business soon became very profitable.

  • Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film Dedicated to the Memory of My Late Father, Paul R
    Outlaw Masters Of Japanese Film Dedicated to the memory of my late father, Paul R. Desjardins, 1919–2003, who went through hell his last few years and was consequently unable to finish his own book on his pioneering work in electron microscopy (in the field of plant pathology). Also to my mother, Rosemary, who has had her own gauntlet to run in the last year and has managed to come out the other side. Both my parents have always been loyal, loving and there for me, never turning their backs on me during my extended period of raising hell. To my girl, Lynne Margulies, a truly great soulmate in all things, including the creative process. And to the memory of late director Kinji Fukasaku, a great inspiration to anyone daring to think of giving up in the face of adversity. I was lucky to get to know him and to consider him as a mentor as well as a friend. OUTLAW MASTERS OF JAPANESE FILM CHRIS D.
