Japanese Cinema: Film Style and National Character
Donald RichieOverview of the Book
Richie argues that Japanese films often exhibit a uniformity in character portrayal, contrasting sharply with the diversity found in American cinema. He notes that while there are notable actors like Toshiro Mifune, they frequently play similar roles, suggesting a more cohesive representation of national identity in their performances. This observation highlights the cultural nuances that shape Japanese storytelling and character development in film.
The book categorizes directors into a spectrum based on their engagement with traditional values, questioning of those values, and exploration of alternative themes. Despite acknowledging that his framework may seem somewhat artificial, Richie maintains that it remains relevant, especially in light of the evolving cultural landscape in Japan
