    Japanese Cinema’S Logic], Tokyo: SanIchi Shobo¯

    14 DARK VISIONS OF JAPANESE FILM NOIR Suzuki Seijun’s Branded to Kill (1967) Daisuke Miyao I think that motion pictures should create events by themselves . They should not restrict themselves to merely recreating what has actually happened . Once such events created on the screen occur in reality, motion pictures begin to have a relationship with the society for the first time. (Suzuki Seijun quoted in Ueno 1991: 114) Suzuki Seijun’s 1967 film Branded to Kill (Koroshi no rakuin – hereafter Branded) – the story of a contract killer being dismissed by a gangster organization – created a controversial real life incident when Nikkatsu, one of Japan’s oldest film studios, dismissed Suzuki, then one if its contract directors, ten months after its release. On April 25, 1968, Suzuki was directing the television series Aisai-kun konbanwa: aru ketto¯ [Good Evening, Mr Devoted Husband: A Duel]. He received a telephone call from the secretary of Hori Kyu¯saku, the president of Nikkatsu, and was told that the studio would not pay his salary for April. Just like that, Suzuki Seijun was fired from Nikkatsu. To be sure, Branded had not been a financial and critical success. The film journal Kinema Junpo¯ reported that the release of Branded on a double feature with A Bug That Eats Flowers (Hana wo ku¯ mushi, Nishimura Sho¯goro¯, 1967) ‘resulted in less than 2,000 viewers at Asakusa and Shinjuku and about 500 in Yu¯rakucho¯ on the second day’ (quoted in Ueno 1986: 336). Indeed, Yamatoya Atsushi (1994: 38), one of Branded’s screenwriters, recalls that the Nikkatsu theater in Shinjuku where the film was originally screened was more or less empty on its opening day.

    Mubii Japan 90 Jaar Japanse Cinema

    Filmprogramma Mubii Japan 90 jaar Japanse cinema 25 september t/m 16 december 2015 EYE FILMMUSEUM AMSTERDAM eyefilm.nl/japan Ontdek de Japanse cinema in EYE Wie wil weten wat de Japanse film zo uniek maakt, is dit najaar in EYE op het goede adres. Met een overzicht van ruim veertig titels geeft het filmmuseum inzicht in meer dan negentig jaar fascineren- de filmgeschiedenis uit het Verre Oosten, van de vroege twintigste eeuw tot nu. De Japanse cinema geldt als een van de belangrijkste filmculturen van de wereldcinema, met als boegbeelden de beroemde regisseurs Yasujirō Ozu (1903-1963) en Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998). Er zijn echter meer makers die hebben bijgedragen tot de verrassende veelzijdigheid van de Japanse film; tot hen behoort bijvoorbeeld de in Nederland nog vrijwel onbekende Mikio Naruse, die zich – net als Ozu – een meester toont in de tekening van ogenschijnlijk gewone levens. Mūbii Japan (‘Mūbii’ is fonetisch Japans voor ‘movie’) laat zien dat de reikwijdte van de Japanse film groter is dan de lijst bekende namen. Het programma – met het thema van de tragische liefde als rode draad – is een ontdekkingsreis door de Japanse filmgeschiedenis, van Teinosuke Kinugasa’s stille avant-gardeklassieker A Page of Madness (1926) tot de recente arthousefilms van Hirokazu Kore-eda. Van klassiekers als Naked Youth (Nagisa Oshima) en Ran (Akira Kurosa- wa) zijn in EYE recente restauraties te zien; ook put het filmmuseum uit de eigen collectie met werk van meesters als Ozu en Shohei Imamura en besteedt het aandacht aan de Japanse genrefilm. Fraaie voorbeelden zijn de yakuzafilms (Seijun Suzuki, Takeshi Kitano) en koel gestileerde softpornotitels zoals Love Hotel van de in Nederland nauwelijks bekende Sōmai Shinji (1948-2001).

    PAJ77/No.03 Chin-C

    AIN’T NO SUNSHINE The Cinema in 2003 Larry Qualls and Daryl Chin s 2003 came to a close, the usual plethora of critics’ awards found themselves usurped by the decision of the Motion Picture Producers Association of A America to disallow the distribution of screeners to its members, and to any organization which adheres to MPAA guidelines (which includes the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences). This became the rallying cry of the Independent Feature Project, as those producers who had created some of the most notable “independent” films of the year tried to find a way to guarantee visibility during award season. This issue soon swamped all discussions of year-end appraisals, as everyone, from critics to filmmakers to studio executives, seemed to weigh in with an opinion on the matter of screeners. Yet, despite this media tempest, the actual situation of film continues to be precarious. As an example, in the summer of 2003 the distribution of films proved even more restrictive, as theatres throughout the United States were block-booked with the endless cycle of sequels that came from the studios (Legally Blonde 2, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Terminator 3, The Matrix Revolutions, X-2: X-Men United, etc.). A number of smaller films, such as the nature documentary Winged Migration and the New Zealand coming-of-age saga Whale Rider, managed to infiltrate the summer doldrums, but the continued conglomeration of distribution and exhibition has brought the motion picture industry to a stultifying crisis. And the issue of the screeners was the rallying cry for those working on the fringes of the industry, the “independent” producers and directors and small distributors.

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.
