By giving shape to Imamura Shohei’s career, this collection 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.
The only Japanese director to have won the Palme dOr 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 Japans leading and most controversial film directors. This book is one of the first to study all of Imamuras major films alongside his television and theatrical documentaries, focusing on his major themes and concerns. By giving shape to Imamuras 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.
