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. -

À partir des années 1950, il se spécialise dans le shomin geki, genre qui vise à dépeindre le quotidien des gens de la classe moyenne. Son œuvre à la fois poétique et réaliste, pleinement ancrée dans son temps, donne à voir de magnifiques portraits de femmes, portés par les plus grandes actrices du cinéma nippon comme Hideko Takamine, sa muse, ou Yoko Tsukasa. -
Maison De La Culture Du Japon À Paris Septembre → Décembre 2018 ÉDITO
Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris septembre → décembre 2018 ÉDITO L’automne sera festif ! Japonismes 2018, cette belle saison culturelle japonaise bat désormais son plein à la MCJP, à Paris et en région. Nous sommes très heureux d’être un des acteurs de cet événement célébrant l’amitié entre la France et le Japon. Après une plongée dans l’univers fascinant et monochrome de l’artiste calligraphe Yu-ichi Inoue à voir jusqu’au 15 septembre, nous vous inviterons à remonter le temps grâce à l’exposition Jômon, qui réunira de nombreux objets archéologiques de cette époque (11 000 ans av. J.-C - 400 ans av. J.-C.). Plusieurs de ces pièces sont classées « Trésor national » et « Bien culturel important », cette exposition sera donc un événement ! DES MOMENTS JAL La rétrospective « 100 ans de cinéma » vous emmènera vers une époque moins lointaine. Parmi les 119 films qui vous feront redécouvrir l’histoire du cinéma japonais, 23 seront projetés dans une qualité exceptionnelle, ayant été restaurés en 4K. Ambiance années 70 sur la scène de la MCJP à l’occasion du Festival d’Automne. Le prodige du théâtre japonais Takahiro Fujita s’inspire du film culte Jetons les livres, sortons dans la rue de Shûji Terayama, figure majeure de la contre-culture japonaise, pour mettre en scène une pièce éponyme à l’énergie trash. Portrait d’une jeunesse nonchalante et désespérée, dont les échos sont d’une troublante actualité. Grâce à la 3e édition de Tokyo Hit, la MCJP prendra fin septembre des allures de club tokyoïte pour vous emmener dans un voyage sonore piloté par le pionnier de la musique techno au Japon, le DJ Takkyû Ishino. -
