I've read this for a class i took on film, it's pretty detailed and well written. I'd recommend this for a person who's interested in japanese film.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource, March 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Reframing Japanese Cinema: Authorship, Genre, History (Paperback)

This book is one of the few resources available to western readers on pre-war and WW II era Japanese films, Japans greatest era of cinema according to Noel Burch (author; To the Distant Observer). Unfortunately the text is also clotted with a particularly repugnant variety of paternalistic American leftism.
