												  Japanese Cinema at the Digital Turn Laura Lee, Florida State University1 Between Frames: Japanese Cinema at the Digital Turn Laura Lee, Florida State University Abstract: This article explores how the appearance of composite media arrangements and the prominence of the cinematic mechanism in Japanese film are connected to a nostalgic preoccupation with the materiality of the filmic image, and to a new critical function for film-based cinema in the digital age. Many popular Japanese films from the early 2000s layer perceptually distinct media forms within the image. Manipulation of the interval between film frames—for example with stop-motion, slow-motion and time-lapse techniques—often overlays the insisted-upon interval between separate media forms at these sites of media layering. Exploiting cinema’s temporal interval in this way not only foregrounds the filmic mechanism, but it in effect stages the cinematic apparatus, displaying it at a medial remove as a spectacular site of difference. In other words, cinema itself becomes refracted through these hybrid media combinations, which paradoxically facilitate a renewed encounter with cinema by reawakening a sensuous attachment to it at the very instant that it appears to be under threat. This particular response to developments in digital technologies suggests how we might more generally conceive of cinema finding itself anew in the contemporary media landscape. The advent of digital media and the perceived danger it has implied for the status of cinema have resulted in an inevitable nostalgia for the unique properties of the latter. In many Japanese films at the digital turn this manifests itself as a staging of the cinematic apparatus, in 1 which cinema is refracted through composite media arrangements.

												  Under the Spotlight the World Over16 發光的城市 A R O U N D T O W N FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2008 • TAIPEI TIMES OTHER RELEASES COMPILED BY MARTIN WILLIAms Saw V Gruesome, moralistic game player Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is back for more torture tests, even if he’s been dead since Part III. His cop acolyte Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) now carries the flag for giving deadly lessons in ethics, but he has to be careful because seemingly every investigator in the state is on his tail — those that aren’t dead, at any rate. No previews were available for this entry, and it doesn’t need them, because it’s going to make another killing. Part VI is on the way. Scar In a classic example of predatory programming, the management of the Scholar theater complex jumped at the release of Saw V to slot in this similarly titled horror flick (especially in Chinese) with the added gimmick of 3D. A woman travels back to her hometown in Colorado to visit family and before long the killing begins. Problem is, the deaths resemble a Clockwise from above: Norihiro macabre incident that prompted her to leave town many years Koizum’s Gachi Boy: Wrestling With before. There’s torture, too, but Jigsaw devotees are unlikely to a Memory; Mii����ke Takashi’�’s Sukiyaki get their fix. Western Django; Chak De! by Indian director Shimit Amin; Genius Party, a collection of seven animation shorts Death Race by celebrated Japanese directors; and The Saw series is fundamentally about Astropia by Gunnar Gudmundsson of body abuse and serpentine plots, so car Iceland.

Después de cierta experiencia en televisión, Miike fue reclutado por Imamura, quién lo convirtió en su asistente de dirección en "Zegen" y "Black Rain". Las primeras películas de Miike se hicieron directamente en video gracias al sistema V-cinema, que era una forma para que los estudios japoneses desarrollaran jóvenes cineastas sin desarrollaran jóvenes cineastas sin utilizar grandes presupuestos. Desde entonces ha dirigido más de 100 largometrajes entre finales de los 90 y 2019. En su trabajo, se puede ver a Miike pervirtiendo al Yakusa Eiga (género de la mafia), así como a la comedia burlesca ("Yatterman"), al drama íntimo ("Visitor Q"), al western ("Sukiyaki Western Django"), a la película de terror ("One Missed Call"), a la adaptación de manga ("Crows Zero 1 y 2" , "Ichi The Killer", "Terra Formars"), a las Tokusatsu - películas de superhéroes de estilo japonés ("Zebraman") y el género de acción ("Dead or Alive 1, 2, 3").

												  The Good, the Bad, and the Generic: Translation and Transference in East Asian WesternsMichelle Cho The Good, The Bad, and the Generic: Translation and Transference in East Asian Westerns As the blue sky that fills the opening frame of The This essay offers a theoretical perspective on Good, the Bad, and the Weird, Korean auteur Kim genre’s role in producing grids of intelligibility Ji-woon’s 2008 “kimchi Western,” gives way to a crucial to cultural translation by arguing that panning shot of the arid desert landscape, viewers generic conventions function in these recent “Asian are given a literal bird’s eye view of the scene.

I would like to suggest that, railroad tracks and narrowly avoids the speeding in these films, genre citation is both a source of train that abruptly enters the frame, announcing inspiration for themes, plot points, or characters the human drama that will follow. Takashi Miike and a set of constraints which makes possible also enlists the visual motif of the bird of prey to the act of addressing an audience that is not yet frame the confrontation of man and nature in the stably formed, an audience that emerges out of bizarre, theatrical prologue to Sukiyaki Western self-consciously ethnic and nationalist structures Django (no need to append a representative of identification, yet simultaneously disavows “flavor,” since Miike spells it out in the film’s title). and exceeds them.
