Mark Player: Japanese Cinema and Punk, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In Japanese Cinema and Punk, Mark Player examines how the do-it-yourself ethos of punk empowered a new generation of Japanese filmmakers during a period of crisis and change in Japan's film industry.

Drawing on rare materials and first-hand interviews with key figures from the jishu eiga (self-made film)
>By considering the practical, phenomenological, and political ramifications of combining diverse media elements, Player offers in-depth analyses of films such as Burst City (1982), Robinson's Garden (1987), Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989), and more. He further traces the changing sociocultural position of Japan's punk generation throughout the 1980s-from its euphoric early-80s peak to the growing disillusionment caused by its mainstream co-optation and convergence.
