Kurzbeschreibung
Beyond Kurosawa: This book explores the work of the greatest Japanese filmmakers. Until very recently, the western world has viewed Japanese cinema through a very narrow prism. For years, Westerners interested in Japanese film have had to content themselves with the collected works of Akira Kurosawa, a spotty sampling of films by Kenji Mizoguchi and Yasujiro Ozu, gobs of anime, and badly dubbed monster movies. Many great filmmakers like Mikio Naruse and Keisuke Kinoshita have remained unknown in the West, and musicals and comedies are hardly known outside Asia. This volume will help set the record straight, illustrating the history of Japanese cinema with vivid posters and stunning photography.

At last -- a Japanese film coffee table book!
4. September 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Those who love Japanese movies also know how frustrating it can be trying to find wide-ranging books on the subject in English. With the single exception of Jasper Sharp and Tom Mes' "The Midnight Eye Guide to New Japanese Film" (one of the best film books I've ever come across in any genre, by the way), we've lacked a multi-genre compendium on the subject. Japanese film lovers ccould pick up separate books about Japanese Horror, early films, Godzilla-type monster movies, etc., all of varying degrees of quality.
Which is why I was so excited to see that Taschen was putting out a book touching upon most of Japanese cinema. I finally received my copy this week, and I was blown away. First off, it's packed with photos, many of them full page, rather than the business-card size pics and smaller that you usually find in film books today.
Movies and directors covered range from early (1920s-30s) all the way up through 21st century J-horror and beyond, hitting everything from Takeshi Kitano and anime flicks to the work of Miike and Tsukamoto.
Anyone who's picked up a Taschen book or two knows what to expect from this one: great photos. The author also does an admirable job of introducing readers to all the major trends in Japanese film from the last 50 years or so. While I've been reading about and watching Japanese movies for some 6 or 7 years now, I still came away from this book with a few titles jotted down for my DVD wish list.
My only complaint with "Japanese Cinema" is that I would have preferred something with twice the number of pages, similar to Taschen's "Cinema Now." But that's just me being greedy.

Excellent book

The aptly named reviewer "useless" advises people to "Stick to books by Donald Ritchie or Alan Silver if you want some real insight into Japanese film history." It's ironic that Donald Ritchie loves Galbraith's latest offering and described discusses the "valuable scholarship" by this "esteemed author." You can read the whole review at the Japan Times web site here: [...]
I agree with Ritchie. This is an informative and well illustrated overview of Japanese cinema that does not limit itself to only the usual directors and stars. It's well worth picking up a copy as it will make a great addition to any cinema buff's library.

Not so good....
15. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Well, simply said, I expected more. It is, indeed, packed full of photos which is what I would expect from a Taschen book but it just does not cover enough. It seems the author was trying to acquaint the reader with the lesson common genre's of japanese films (i.e. comedies, musicals) and less well known directors (Hideo Gosha, for one example) and he does but he skims over so much and it is such a quick read it did not seem worth the price. It is a coffee table book and you should not expect much more. At one point the author says that Roman Porno films are being disovered by "the younger generation of Japanese Film Scholars" which sounds slightly elitist. Even so, if you have an interest in japanese film, have exhausted other books on the subject or find yourself reading about the same films again and again, then this might help you discover a few you might not know of (and might never have access to). I do not quite understand the inclusion of the Filmography in the back (there are only 10 films.) or why the films that are there were chosen. There are better books out there. There are also much, much worse. The photos are great but not worth the price.
