Produktbeschreibung
Bringing together a range of Japanese and western scholars, this is the first book in English dedicated to Tanaka Kinuyo - praised as one of the greatest artists in the history of Japanese cinema. Tanaka's career in acting and directing spanned the industrial development of cinema; from silent to sound, monochrome to colour. In addition to featuring in films by Ozu, Mizoguchi, Naruse and Kurosawa, Tanaka was the only female Japanese filmmaker active between 1953 and 1962, and her films tackled distinctly feminine topics such as prostitution and breast cancer. Her career overlapped with a transformative period in Japanese history. This close analysis of her fascinating life and work offers new perspectives, subjectivities and modes of analysis for the classical era of Japanese cinema. Irene González-López is a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Visual and Material Culture Research Centre at Kingston University, London. Michael Smith was awarded his PhD from the University of Leeds in 2013.
