References 39 2 1. Abstract This essay represents an attempt to further the understanding of the films by Japanese New Wave director Shohei Imamura through the use of post-colonial theory, and political and cultural contextualisation; it also offers discussion on the inherent issues of discussing non- Western cinema from a Western point-of-view, and how post-colonial theory can be used tentatively by Western writers to prevent the perpetuation of orientalism and the generalisation of non-Western cultures as a single entity simply titled ‘the Other’. This is done through an in-depth exploration of Western film theory’s problematic relationship to Asian cinema, along with disposition and historical contextualisation relevant to Imamura’s films and the Japanese New Wave movement of the 1960s. This is then followed by an analysis on Imamura’s sixth film, The Insect Woman, released in 1963, in which I implement post-colonial theory while also comparing it to Yasujiro Ozu’s 1951 motion picture Early Summer, a film which addresses similar themes but in widely different ways.

  • Shohei Imamura an Icarus Films Release
    A MAN VANISHES A film by Shohei Imamura An Icarus Films Release “Critic’s Pick! A mercurial mystery, a vertiginous drama and the very stuff of cinema.” -- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Contact: (718) 488-8900 www.IcarusFilms.com Serious documentaries are good for you. LOGLINE When a seemingly contented businessman disappears without a trace, his fiancé goes to great lengths to find him in this gorgeously photographed black- and-white film from master director and two-time Palme d’Or winner Shohei Imamura. SYNOPSIS One of the most important and complex works by two-time Palme d’Or winning director Shohei Imamura, A Man Vanishes began as an investigation into one of the thousands of missing persons cases that occur in Japan each year. The film follows the case of Tadashi, a handsome businessman who has suddenly vanished. Imamura and his crew interview the man’s fiancée, Yoshie, who is desperately searching for him, and become increasingly involved in his life. But the “investigation” casts a shadow of doubt over the couple’s relationship, Tadashi’s business ventures, his relationship with Yoshie’s sister, and even the investigating film director, Imamura himself, who may not be what he seems to be. The film culminates in a stunning scene that explodes any stable sense of fiction and reality. Radical film in scope, technique, and aesthetic, A Man Vanishes is distills many of Imamura’s central themes and obsessions and make it an early example of what film historian Donald Ritchie called, “One of Imamura’s major themes: [the] confrontation of illusion with reality (and the resultant problem of telling which is which).” PRESS QUOTES A MAN VANISHES “Critic’s Pick! A mercurial mystery, a vertiginous drama and the very stuff of cinema.” –Manohla Dargis, The New York Times “The explosively provocative film progressively and aggressively blurs distinctions between documentary and fiction.

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.

The first was the news that, after 22 years as délégué général, Gilles Jacob stepped up to become Président while handing down the reins to Thierry Frémaux, the latter now divides his time between Cannes and duties as head of the Institute Lumière in Lyons. The other was the presence on the Croisette of seven previous Palme d’Or directors: Francis Ford Coppola (The Conversation, 1974, and Apocalypse Now, 1979), Ermanno Olmi (The Tree of Wooden Clogs, 1978), Shohei Imamura (The Ballad of Narayama, 1983, and The Eel, 1997), David Lynch (Wild at Heart, 1990), Joel and Ethan Coen (Barton Fink, 1991), and Abbas Kiarostami (The Taste of Cherries, 1997). One might add, too, that over the past quarter century each of their eight award-winning films helped considerably to set the tone and style of the world’s mostrevered film festival. Apocalypse Now Redux In the case of Apocalypse Now -- aka Apocalypse Now Redux, to denote a new version of an old film -- Francis Ford Coppola returned to Cannes with the completed version of his work-in-progress presented here 22 years ago. No less than 53 minutes were added to the re-edited 203-minute version, in addition to a re-mastered Technicolor transfer and a re-mastered soundtrack.
