Jidai Geki & Chanbara
Jidai geki & chanbara, les films de sabre japonais Par G.N.C.D. JJR 65 Non, n’imaginons pas que tout film japonais en costume d’époque est un film de sabre. Un film comme Kagemusha, de Kurosawa, est une épopée, un pur jidai geki (film historique), malgré de nombreux combats de masse. En revanche, il est évident que tout film de sabre, souvent appelé « film de samouraïs » en Occident, est un film en costume d’époque. Pour une raison simple : les samouraïs avec leur sabres ont disparu de la scène sociale nippone quelques années après que l’empereur Meiji eût retrouvé la plénitude de ses pouvoirs en 1868. Le choc visuel initial fut immense quand fut projeté en Europe le film « Les 7 samouraïs », d’Akira Kurosawa, en 1954, réalisé dans les studios de la Toho. Applaudi partout, nommé aux Oscars, primé (Lion d’Or à Venise), ce film imposa instantanément les films de sabre japonais sur les écrans internationaux. Il sera à l’origine de nombreuses copies ou de remakes, dont les « Sept Mercenaires » réalisé quelques années plus tard par John Sturges. « Les 7 samouraïs » fut classé dans les 100 meilleurs films de tous les temps, en 2010. Il n’était pourtant pas le premier film de sabre . Toshiro Mifune En effet, et comme dans tous les pays disposant d’une industrie cinématographique, le Japon a commencé à lancer des films en costume d’époque, dès les années 1930 pour ce pays. Ce fut en 1941 que fut réalisé « Les 47 ronins » de l’illustre Mizoguchi. Ce fut en 1941 également, et seulement quelques jours avant Pearl Harbour, que fut lancé un jidai geki très orienté militantisme guerrier : « Les derniers jours d’Edo » (Edo Saigo No Hi), réalisé par Hiroshi Inagaki. -

Zatoichi: the Blind Swordsman (Set 1)
Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman The colossally popular Zatoichi films make up the longest-running Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman action series in Japanese history and created one of the screen’s great heroes: an itinerant blind masseur who also happens to be a lightning-fast swordsman. As this iconic figure, the charismatic and earthy Shintaro Katsu became an instant superstar, lending a larger-than-life presence to the thrilling adventures of a man who lives staunchly by a code of honor and delivers justice in every town and village he enters. The films that feature him are variously pulse-pounding, hilarious, stirring, and completely off-the-wall. This deluxe set features the string of twenty-five Zatoichi films made between 1962 and 1973, collected in one package for the first time. 1. THE TALE OF ZATOICHI Kenji Misumi 1962 The epic saga of Zatoichi begins. 2. THE TALE OF ZATOICHI CONTINUES Kazuo Mori 1962 Zatoichi is hired to give a massage to a powerful political official who, he (Set 1) discovers, is mentally ill—a secret that the nobleman’s retinue is determined to keep at any cost. The Criterion Collection The Tale of 3. NEW TALE OF ZATOICHI Zatoichi Tokuzo Tanaka 1963 1 Zatoichi is back—and in color! Hoping to leave violence behind, the blind masseur wanders to a village, where he meets an old friend fallen on hard times.

Masaki Kobayashi Reencuentro Con Un Maestro Del Cine Japonés Diez Films En La Sala Leopoldo Lugones
Masaki Kobayashi Reencuentro con un maestro del cine japonés Diez films en la Sala Leopoldo Lugones El Complejo Teatral de Buenos Aires y la Fundación Cinemateca Argentina, en colaboración con el Centro Cultural e Informativo de la Embajada de Japón, han organizado un ciclo denominado Masaki Kobayashi, reencuentro con un maestro del cine japonés, que se llevará a cabo del jueves 19 de octubre al jueves 2 de noviembre en la Sala Leopoldo Lugones del Teatro San Martín (Avda. Corrientes 1530). La muestra estará integrada por diez films –muchos de ellos inéditos en Argentina-- en copias 35mm enviadas especialmente desde Tokio por The Japan Foundation. Esta retrospectiva recorre una parte sustancial de la obra de Kobayashi (1916- 1996), uno de los realizadores nipones más importantes en la historia del cine de posguerra, incluyendo algunos de sus primeros títulos, nunca antes exhibidos en nuestro país. “De todos los realizadores pertenecientes a la generación que ingresó en la industria durante o poco tiempo después de la Guerra del Pacífico, Kobayashi se transformaría, tal vez, en el crítico social más autoconsciente”. (Alexander Jacoby). “Nacido en 1916 en la isla de Hokkaido, Kobayashi terminó sus estudios universitarios con una especialización en Literatura, pero decidió entregarse por completo al cine, ingresando como empleado raso en los estudios Shochiku, uno de los cinco más importantes de Japón. Permanecería poco tiempo en ese puesto: a comienzos de 1942 fue llamado para formar parte de las filas del ejército nipón. Esencialmente un soldado antimilitarista, como alguna vez se definió a sí mismo, los siguientes tres años (y un cuarto como prisionero de guerra en Manchuria) lo marcarían para siempre, y parte de esa experiencia sería exorcizada años más tarde en su extensa trilogía La condición humana (1959-1961), basada en la novela de Junpei Gomikawa (y exhibida en la Sala Lugones en el año 2000). -
Julien Bastide Critique Et Auteur De Livres Sur Les Mangas
PARCOURS EN BIBLIOTHÈQUE Des adonaissants aux jeunes adultes REIMS 12-15 juin 2008 Session 5 L’engouement des jeunes pour les Mangas Julien Bastide Critique et auteur de livres sur les Mangas Mangas : une nouvelle littérature populaire En moins de quinze ans, la bande dessinée japonaise a conquis de nombreux lecteurs francophones, remettant en cause la suprématie historique de la bande dessinée franco-belge. Elle se caractérise par une production pléthorique, fondée sur le principe du feuilleton et ciblée en fonction de l’âge et du sexe du lecteur, suscitant des récits qui jouent sur les attentes du public, entre identification et fantasme. Les débuts du Cri qui tue Lorsqu’en 1978, Motoichi « Athos » Takemoto, jeune Japonais installé en Suisse, publie le premier numéro de la revue Le Cri qui tue, il ne se doute pas qu’il est le précurseur d’un mouvement destiné à bouleverser le marché de la bande dessinée européenne. Si l’on excepte la publication de quelques histoires de Hiroshi Hirata dans la revue d’arts martiaux Budo, à partir de 1969, c’est en effet dans ce périodique que furent présentées pour la première fois, de manière volontariste, au public francophone des bandes dessinées japonaises traduites en français – mais faute de succès, la publication du Cri qui tue est interrompue en 1981, après six numéros. Il faut attendre le début de la décennie suivante pour que la bande dessinée japonaise connaisse ses premiers best-sellers en Europe francophone, sous l’impulsion notamment de l’éditeur français Jacques Glénat, fort de l’énorme succès de la série Dragon Ball d’Akira Toriyama, publiée en français à partir de 1991 (éd. -
Conventions of This Guide
The VINTAGE NINJA Movie & TV Guide VOL. 1: JAPAN, LIVE ACTION — 1920s-1980s © Keith J. Rainville, 2021 You want to see the movies Sho Kosugi grew up watching, the ones that inspired animation designers and video game artists of the 80s and 90s, the ones the James Bond people ripped off in the 60s, but where to start? Or, you’ve amassed a collection of these gems already but know there’s more out there. Here’s a user- friendly reference for both pursuits, with quick-and-easy recommendations for Japanese ninja titles from the silent era to the late 80s — their general flavor and tone, varying trends and tropes, and a lot of surprises. CONVENTIONS OF THIS GUIDE: • TITLES — for better or worse I’ve used the most commonly used translations out there. These are often the most accessible references to these films so, even if the title’s been butchered, there’s still a practical advantage when searching them out. • VN as an entity has to be cautious when it comes to supporting/endorsing certain not-so-authorized film collecting activities out there, so sorry, there’s no links here... • YES THERE’S MORE TO COME! This will be updated often and I have a huge stack of discs and files awaiting input. Plus future volumes on Anime, Japan 1990—present, Hong Kong/Chinese films, ninja-like hooded heroes, and more. • Yes, we welcome corrections and additions. Email me through the website. • See the Appendixes at the end for more info! Images © Shochiku Co., Ltd, 1965. Text © Keith J.
