5.0 out of 5 stars
Macias' Masterpiece,
By Pat G. (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: TokyoScope: The Japanese Cult Film Companion (Paperback)
Never mind the haters, this book has the goods. An excellent resource and a joy to read, this is the place to start your exploration of some of the most amazing Japanese films you're likely to see in this lifetime. Hip, funny and oh so knowledgable, Macias has written a film companion that you'll be coming back to again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have,
By Wes Black (sterling heights, mi United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TokyoScope: The Japanese Cult Film Companion (Paperback)
I've read everything from Japanese Cinema:The Essential handbook to Eros in Hell and Tokyo Scope beats them all. Patrick Macias's writing is crisp and his knowledge will have even the most hard-core fan in awe. With chapters on filmmakers and idols like Kinji Fukasaku, Takashi Miike, and Sonny Chiba this book will have you locked in for hours upon hours. It also is packed with chapters on the yakuza, giant monsters, horror, and pink films with each loaded to the kilt with interviews and reviews. All of the above and more make this a must have for everyone from people with just a passing interest in Japanese film to the most jaded of asian film junkies.

5.0 out of 5 stars
educational even for a Japanese cinemaphile,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: TokyoScope: The Japanese Cult Film Companion (Paperback)
I wouldn't call myself an expert on Japanese movies, but I do get to every movie festival I can that has Asian features (a great one--the Philapdelphia film festival and their Action Asia selections). I regularly scan the gray market and grab at whatever tickles my fancy even remotely. But this book still provided me with an education. I quibble sometimes with the author's taste, but his breadth of knowledge is undebatable. I now keep this book on my computer desk as I scan for more titles to fuel my little obsession.
