The decade of the 1960s encompassed a "New Wave" of films whose
makers were rebels, challenging cinematic traditions and the
culture at large. The films of the New Wave in Japan have, until
now, been largely overlooked. Eros plus Massacre (taking its title
from a 1969 Yoshida Yoshishige film) is the first major study
devoted to the examination and explanation of Japanese New Wave
film.
Desser organizes his volume around the defining motifs of the
New Wave. Chapters examine in depth such themes as youth, identity,
sexuality, and women, as they are revealed in the Japanese film of
the sixties. Desser's research in Japanese film archives, his
interviews with major figures of the movement, and his keen insight
into Japanese culture combine to offer a solid and balanced
analysis of films by Oshima, Shinoda, Imamura, Yoshida, Suzuki, and
others.
