The Technique of the Love Affair by Norrie Epstein

The Technique of the Love Affair by Norrie Epstein

A thorough exploration of the work of one of Japan's most controversial directors The only Japanese director to have won the Palme d'Or from Cannes more than once, and second only to Ozu Yasujiro in the number of times he has won the prestigious Kinema Jumpo Best One award, the late Imamura Shohei was one of Japan's leading and most controversial film directors. This book is one of the first to study all of Imamura's major films alongside his television and theatrical documentaries, focusing on his major themes and concerns. By giving shape to Imamura's career, the book positions him as a stylistic innovator as well as an ethnographic investigator into Japanese culture and tradition; the preeminent examiner of the hidden, barely repressed underpinnings of Japanese society. Professor David Desser is Professor Emeritus of Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois and Dean of Anaheim University Akira Kurosawa School of Film. Lindsay Coleman is a writer and educator, and is completing his PhD thesis at the University of Melbourne Cover image: Shoichi Ozawa in The Pornographers (1966 Japan), directed by Shohei Imamura (c) East-West Classics/Photofest Cover design: [EUP logo] edinburghuniversitypress.com ISBN 978-1-4744-1181-3 Barcode
