book		Figures traced in light : on cinematic staging / David Bordwell Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 2005. Call No: 631.21 BOR Author: Bordwell, David Source: US Place: Berkeley, Calif. Publisher: University of California Press PubDate: 2005 PhysDes: 314 p. : 25 cm Subject: BORDWELL, DAVID; FEUILLADE, LOUIS; MIZOGUCHI KENJI; HOU HSIAO-HSIEN; ANGELOPOULOS, THEO; HAWKS, HOWARD; ANTONIONI, MICHELANGELO; OZU YASUJIRO; KITANO TAKESHI; AESTHETICS; CINEMATOGRAPHY Notes: A film tells its story not only through dialogue and actors’ performances but also through the director’s control of movement and shot design. Figures Traced in Light is a detailed consideration of how cinematic staging carries the story, expresses emotion, and beguiles the audience through pictorial composition. Ranging over the entire history of cinema and illustrating his discussion with more than five hundred frame enlargements, David Bordwell focuses on four filmmakers’ unique contributions to the technique. In-depth chapters examine the films of Louis Feuillade, masters of the 1910s serial; Mizoguchi Kenji, the great Japanese director who worked from the 1920s to the 1950s; Theo Angelopoulos, who began his career as a political modernist in the late 1960s; and Hou Hsiao-hsien, the Taiwanese filmmaker who in the 1980s became the preeminent Asian director. For comparison, Bordwell draws on films by Howard hawks, Michelangelo Antonioni, Ozu Yasujiro, Kitano Takeshi, and many other directors. [Taken from back cover.] ISBN: 0520241975 ID2: 291 More info

Interim book		Mizoguchi and Japan / Mark Le Fanu London: British Film Institute, 2005. Call No: 81MIZ FAN Author: Mark Le Fanu Source: British Film Institiute Place: London Publisher: British Film Institute PubDate: 2005 PhysDes: 218 p ; 23 cm Subject: MIZOGUCHI KENJI; JAPAN; DIRECTORS. JAPAN; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA; CRITICISM Summary: Mizoguchi and Japan is the first full-length study for over twenty years of a director hailed by Cahiers du Cinema recently as "the greatest of all cineastes". On the surface such a claim might be considered controversial since, for a majority of Western cinema-goers, the names more usually associated with classic Japanese cinema are those of Kurosawa and Ozu. Mark Le Fanu's admiration for Kurosawa and Ozu is second to none, but here, in his long-awaited new study, he makes the case for placing Mizoguchi at the very pinnacle of Japanese film achievement.[Taken from back cover].

book		The Oxford handbook of Japanese cinema / edited by Daisuke Miyao New York: Oxford University Press, 2014. Call No: 71(52) OXF Source: US Place: New York Publisher: Oxford University Press PubDate: 2014 PhysDes: xii, 483 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm Series: Oxford handbooks of literature Subject: JAPAN; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. JAPAN; INDUSTRY, FILM. JAPAN; ANIME; MANGA; TSUKAMOTO SHINYA; MIIKE TAKASHI; MIZOGUCHI KENJI; OZU YASUJIRO Summary: Features twenty essays, all by leading researchers in the field, that provide the reader with a multifaceted single-volume account of Japanese cinema Engages in debates about what Japanese cinema is, where Japanese cinema is, as well as what and where Japanese cinema studies is The reality of transnational innovation and dissemination of new technologies, including digital media, has yet to make a dent in the deep-seated culturalism that insists on reinscribing a divide between the West and Japan, even in realms of technological activity that are quite evidently dispersed across cultures. Film and media studies are not immune to this trend. They continue to fret over the "Westernness" of film technologies vis-à-vis the apparently self-evident "Japaneseness" of other modes of cultural production. The main goal of The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema is to counter this trend toward dichotomizing the West and Japan and to challenge the pervasive culturalism of today's film and media studies. This volume addresses productive debates about what Japanese cinema is, where Japanese cinema is, and where Japanese cinema is going at the period of crisis of national boundary under globalization. In order to do so, this volume attempts to foster dialogue between Japanese scholars of Japanese cinema, film scholars of Japanese cinema based in Anglo-American and European countries, film scholars of non-Japanese cinema, film archivists, film critics, and filmmakers familiar with film scholarship.
