Tomu Uchida is the latest potential discovery for audiences turned on to classic Japanese cinema by Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi and Naruse. More recent directors have made their reputation projecting a very different contemporary Japan, such as Takeshi Kitano with his 'understated, innovative, blackly humorous explorations of society's fringes'. From the partial view we have, what do British audiences understand Japanese cinema to be? Boldly tackling this fundamental question, and evaluating the influence of Japanese cinema on other cultures, are Tony Rayns, Dr Julian Stringer, Dr Isolde Standish and Jasper Sharp. Organised by the Japan Foundation, this is the final session in the Japanese Cinema for Busy People seminar series.

Wed 5 Dec 6.10PM
