3 Probably most vibrant cinemas in the world right now Chinese Japanese Korean

4 3 Centers of Chinese Film Prod. 1. Hong Kong (largest producer) primarily martial arts films, comedies, gangster films -- not widely seen in the West until recently 2. Taiwan -- films made almost totally for domestic consumption but some great films recently

5 3 Centers of Chinese Film Prod. 3. People’s Republic of China: u Few films during cultural revolution u Beginning late 70s more production u Production centered in Beijing & Shanghai -- film schools in several cities

6 People’s Republic of China Filmmaking sort of closed-off after the Tinamen Square massacre, but is opening back up again Still significant censorship

7 Some Chinese Directors 5th Generation - Chen Kaige (Yellow Earth, Farewell My Concubine Zhang Yimou - Red Sorghum, Raise the Red Lantern, Story of Qui Ju -- House of Flying Daggers, Wong Kar-Wai - Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, In the Mood for Love, 2046

8 More Chinese Directors Ang Lee in Taiwan and John Woo - Hong Kong director both working in West: Woo: Mission Impossible 2, Broken Arrow, The Face Off, The Robinsons: Lost in Space Lee: Brokeback Mtn, The Ice Storm, Sense & Sensibility

9 Japanese Cinema The most important Asian cinema though the Chinese are gaining: Unbelievably hierarchical studio structure Director-based rather than producer - based production system

10 2 Basic Film Genres 1. Jidai-geki -- historical films 2. Gendai-geki -- contemporary films Dividing line -- the year the year Japanese emperor opened Japan to the West

11 Key Stylistic Differences: 1. Sentimentality 2. Slow pacing -- lingering on shots 3. Extreme interest in image --- lighting, composition, beautiful pictures 4. Influence of Noh plays & Kabuki theatre

12 3 Major Directors 1. Akira Kurosawa 2. Kenji Mizoguchi 3. Jasujiro Ozu

13 Mizoguchi Very painterly -- concentrates more on the mise-en-scene than the editing --- highly visual Ugetzu 1st important film -- emphasis on mood & atmosphere

14 Ozu Most “Japanese” of these directors One basic theme: cultural clash between Japanese & Western ideas Far more contemporary films than Mizoguchi or Kurosawa

15 Ozu’s Style: 1. Extremely austere 2. Little camera movement 3. Frequent interiors 4. Low camera angles 5. Endless talk Key: little human insights

16 A Few More Directors: Kon Ichikawa, Masaki Kobayashi, Nagisa Oshima, Mashiro Shinoda More recently Yoshimitsu Morita & Juzo Itami (comedies & social satires respectively)

17 Akira Kurosawa The central figure in the Japanese Cinema 1st great success-- Rashomon won the Venice Film Festival (1951) Followed by Ikiru (52) ; 7 Samurai (54); Throne of Blood (57)

18 Kurosawa’s Style: Most Western Japanese director: 1. Deeply humanistic themes 2. Influence by American westerns 3. Overacting for dramatic effect 4. Slow pacing forces viewers to really look into the frame 5. Incredible camera movement

19 Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (1959)
