The Cinematic Influence : Interaction and Exchange Between the Cinemas of France and Japan Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Exploring the multiple aesthetic and cultural links between French and Japanese cinema, The Cinematic Influence is packed with vivid examples and case studies of films by Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Luc Godard, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Claire Denis, Naomi Kawase, Michel Gondry and many others.

It illustrates the vast array of cinematic connections that mark a long history of mutual influence and reverence between filmmakers in France and Japan. The book provides new insights into the ways that national cinemas resist Hollywood to maintain and strengthen their own cultural practices and how these national cinemas perform the task of informing and enlightening other cultures about what it means to be French or Japanese.

This book also deepens our understandings of film's role as a viable cultural and economic player in individual nations.

Importantly, the reader will see that film operates as a form of cultural exchange between France and Japan, and more broadly, Europe and Asia.

This is the first major book to investigate the crossover between these two diverse national cinemas by tracking their history of shared narrative and stylistic techniques.
