Unholy desire : Intentions of murder in Fade-in (April 1987) vol.27 iss.4 p.2
Author: Richie, Donald PhysDes: ArticleSubject: IMAMURA SHOHEI ; OZU YASUJIRO ; AKAI SATSUI (JA, Shohei Imamura, 1964) ; MURDEROUS INSTINCTS (JA, Shohei Imamura, 1964) ; UNHOLY DESIRE (JA, Shohei Imamura, 1964) ; TOKYO STORY (JA, Yasujiro Ozu, 1953) ; TOKYO MONOGATARI (JA, Yasujiro Ozu, 1953) Summary: Explores bibliographic aspects of director Shohei Imamura, noting that Imamura presents an alternative vision of Japanese culture which is typically represented as still, serene, civilised and rigidly hierarchical. Donald Richie instead frames Imamura's films like "Akai Satsui" within a Japan not bound by rules of decorum and order. Richie also comments on how Imamura worked as assistant director to Yasujiro Ozu for a number of films, including "Tokyo Story", then comparing and contrasting between Imamura and Ozu's filmic styleNotes: "Akai Satsui" is also known by the English titles of "Unholy Desire", "Intentions of Murder", and "Murderous Instincts"ID2: 291
