  • Japanese Culture and Society: a Faculty Development Seminar for Wabash College and Depauw University
    JAPANESE CULTURE AND SOCIETY: A FACULTY DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR FOR WABASH COLLEGE AND DEPAUW UNIVERSITY Film List Tokyo Waka, Wednesday, May 22nd 6:30-9pm at MSB 100 As it has expanded both outward and upward, Tokyo’s human population has multiplied and intensified. A city that exceeds 13 million people, however, has ecological repercussions. One such consequence has been the steady proliferation of waste, which invites and feeds the 20,000 crows that now cohabit the Japanese capital. Divisive to locals, a growing concern for authorities and of immediate interest to tourists, these avian intruders have migrated from the rainforests to the south-east of the metropolis, and in John Haptas and Kristine Samuelson’s subtly symphonic documentary, they make for a curious cinematic “other” – one that, for the purposes of the film, is more complementary to the cityspace than contradictory. With eerie images of these birds sitting rather indifferently on power cables – as if to remind us of the everyday constructs we now take for granted – Tokyo Waka opens more as a disquieting horror film than the city poem its title suggests it to be (“waka” is a form of Japanese poetry). As Todd Boekhelheide’s musical score and Pete Horner’s evocative sound design quickly demonstrate, however, the film chimes along in a contemplative manner, as its makers shape an image of and ode to the eponymous city through an original and ruminative framework. Their methods and aims are to celebrate the multiplicity of human perspectives by probing various interviewees on the subject of their avian neighbours. These include a homeless citizen, two members of art collective Pom Chim, a Buddhist monk, a zookeeper, an architect, a tofu street vendor and, of course, an ornithologist.

  • 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.
