Hiroshima and Nagasaki evoke powerful and sombre associations of
holocaust and apocalypse, a vision that gives rise to Japanese
hibakusha cinema, which attempts to come to terms with the bombings
in a number of ways. Including contributions from such renowned
theorists as Donald Richie and Susan Sontag, Hibakusha Cinema
focuses critical attention upon this little-studied yet vitally
important trend in Japanese film. Assembled chronologically, the
anthology begins with rare, early commentary and closes with new
criticism specially prepared for this volume. The essays explore
the metatextuality of Hiroshima and Nagasaki via film and
television renderings of hibakusha experiences as well as Japanese
projections of future nuclear wars. Hibakusha Cinema assesses a
broad range of Japanese film to locate this significant theme: the
essays cover documentary and dramatic films made under strict,
Occupation-era censorship; the historical docudramas of the 1950s
and 1980s; the widespread though critically neglected nuclear
monster subgenre; and apocalyptic manga films and videos.
