Tokyoscope the Japanese Cult Film Companion
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Viz
- Publish date: 12/01/2001
Description:
When Westerners think of Japanese film, they think of textbook classics by such masters as Kurosawa, Ozu, and Mizoguchi. Behind that respectable facade is another world, an underground realm where sex, violence, and giant monsters prevail. In TokyoScope, noted Asian-film expert Patrick Macias acts as both tour guide and critic of these unheralded delights.
Expand description
Chapters cover such cult-fave genres as giant monsters (Godzilla, Mothra), Sonny Chiba's cheesy kung fu flicks, shogun assassin, yakuza, superheroes, and panic and disaster films, as well as banned Japanese films. Names previously known only to film buffs and scholars appear here for an in-depth look: Kinji Fukasaku, Seijun Suzuki, Ishiro Honda, Shinya Tsukamato, and Takashi Miike. Richly illustrated with rare images from the films, the book also includes new interviews with some of the great filmmakers.
