In 1968, Suzuki Seijun-a low-budget genre filmmaker known for
movies including Branded to Kill, Tokyo Drifter, and Youth of the
Beast-was unceremoniously fired by Nikkatsu Studios. Soon to be
known as the "Suzuki Seijun Incident," his dismissal became a cause
for leftist student protestors and a burgeoning group of cinephiles
to rally around. His films rapidly emerged as central to debates
over politics and aesthetics in Japanese cinema. William Carroll
offers a new account of Suzuki's career that highlights the
intersections of film theory, film production, cinephile culture,
and politics in 1960s Japan. Carroll places Suzuki's work between
two factions that claimed him as one of their own after 1968: the
New Left and its politicized theoretical practice on one hand, and
the apparently apolitical cinephiles and their formalist criticism
on the other. He considers how both of these strands of film theory
shed light on the distinctive qualities of Suzuki's films, and he
explores how both Suzuki's works and unheralded Japanese film
theorists offer new ways of understanding world cinema. This book
presents both a major reinterpretation of Suzuki's work-which
influenced directors such as John Woo, Jim Jarmusch, and Quentin
Tarantino-and a new lens on postwar Japanese film culture and
industry. Suzuki Seijun and Postwar Japanese Cinema also includes a
complete production history of Suzuki's filmography along with
never-before-discussed information about his unfinished film
projects.
