This important work fills the need for a reasonably priced yet
comprehensive volume on major directors in the history of Japanese
film. With clear insight and without academic jargon, Jacoby
examines the works of over 150 filmmakers to uncover what makes
their films worth watching.
Included are artistic profiles of everyone from Yutaka Abe to
Isao Yukisada, including masters like Kinji Fukasaku, Juzo Itami,
Akira Kurosawa, Takashi Miike, Kenji Mizoguchi, Yasujiro Ozu, and
Yoji Yamada. Each entry includes a critical summary and
filmography, making this book an essential reference and guide.
UK-based Alexander Jacoby is a writer and researcher on Japanese
film.
