References 39 2 1. Abstract This essay represents an attempt to further the understanding of the films by Japanese New Wave director Shohei Imamura through the use of post-colonial theory, and political and cultural contextualisation; it also offers discussion on the inherent issues of discussing non- Western cinema from a Western point-of-view, and how post-colonial theory can be used tentatively by Western writers to prevent the perpetuation of orientalism and the generalisation of non-Western cultures as a single entity simply titled ‘the Other’. This is done through an in-depth exploration of Western film theory’s problematic relationship to Asian cinema, along with disposition and historical contextualisation relevant to Imamura’s films and the Japanese New Wave movement of the 1960s. This is then followed by an analysis on Imamura’s sixth film, The Insect Woman, released in 1963, in which I implement post-colonial theory while also comparing it to Yasujiro Ozu’s 1951 motion picture Early Summer, a film which addresses similar themes but in widely different ways.

  • Hideko Takamine
    Hideko Takamine By Ron Holloway Spring 1994 Issue of KINEMA AT SEVENTY, she’s Japan’s greatest living actress, often compared to Mary Pickford, but more like a Katherine Hepburn for the range of her talent and commanding presence of the screen -- Hideko Takamine. Despite being recognized as a screen immortal in Japan, only a handful of her more than three hundred film appearances are known in the United States, due to the tragic destruction of the Japanese filmarchives during the war. Thus she’s known in the West mostly by her postwar films, made during that last great period of Japanese cinema of the 1950s and early 1960s, after which television was to replace moviegoing as the population’s favourite form of entertainment. Rather late in her career, Takamine did venture into television, but was never satisfied with the results. Finally, in 1979, deciding that the new medium was not for her, she gracefully took leave of the screen to enjoy for the first time in five decades the pleasures of a private life. When at the last Tokyo Film Festival I asked to interview her, Japanese critics told me that such was impossible: ”She just doesn’t give interviews.” But a mutual friend, film historian Akira Shimizu, intervened on my behalf for a casual meeting, which was arranged one afternoon at the International House. To put the record straight, Hideko Takamine has been interviewed at length by American journalist Phyllis Birnbaum for a ”Profile” published in New Yorker in November of 1990. Moreover, her key postwar films -- made together with Mikio Naruse, one of her two favourite directors -- were programmed by American film historian Audie E.

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.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
