Description:
"This brilliant and sumptuous volume . . . demonstrates that we have only scratched the surface in Western discussions of Chinese and Japanese film. Beautifully and profusely illustrated, lovingly indexed, and absolutely immersed in the culture it examines, Cinematic Landscapes is entirely successful in exploring the many links between the centuries-old graphic tradition of Japanese painting and scroll making and the more recent discipline of the cinema. . . . Cinematic Landscapes pushes Western knowledge of Asian cinema many steps forward and persuasively serves as a model for future inquiry in this area of study."--Journal of Film and Video"Not only will specialists in Asian film benefit from this book, but many scholars working in Asian regional studies, Asian art and literature, as well as film history and criticism undoubtedly will find this anthology of interest. It is valuable as a textbook in courses on art and the cinema, Asian cinema, or film form and aesthetics. The work makes an important contribution to Asian film and art scholarship."--Journal of Asian Studies"An elegant volume whose luxury factor approaches the coffee-table book and whose superlative essays guarantee that the reader will not watch these films the same way again."--Film Quarterly
