The samurai films of legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa are set in the past, but they tell us much about the present, as do his crime stories, romances, medical dramas, and arthouse films. His movies are beloved for their timeless protagonists and haunting vistas of old Japan, but we haven't yet fully grasped everything they can teach us about modern Japan. Kurosawa's directorial career began in 1943 and ended in 1993, spanning 50 of Japan's most transformative years, and his movies evolved as Japan redefined and reinvented itself.
This book dives deep into the context in which these movies took shape, from films made for the wartime regime to those made amid the trials of American occupation, and from the lavish epics of the economic miracle years to the searching masterpieces Kurosawa made with international assistance in a globalizing world. This four-part study of all 30 of Kurosawa's films reveals links between the narratives onscreen and the political, economic, cultural, sexual, and environmental upheavals of a nation at the center of a turbulent century.
