    Kurosawa, Shakespeare and others : Art and the human experience

    36,00 €

    This book means to show that Kurosawa's humanism draws on a sense of individual experience resting upon specific family and social backgrounds as well as the observations of the surrounding social, political and cultural contexts. Kurosawa has often been libelled as a humanist and a citizen of the world, but he also constantly asserted that he was a typical Japanese man of his time. Born in 1910, at the end of the Taisho era, he made his thirty films in the Showa period, during a long twentieth-century that saw Japan tossed by major social, economic and political changes, definitely entering modernity and asserting itself as one of the greatest nations in the world.

    Akira Kurosawa's Dreams - Criterion Collection

    27,95 €

    Se déployant en une série de huit vignettes mythiques, cette œuvre tardive d'Akira Kurosawa s'inspire des propres visions nocturnes du réalisateur bien-aimé, ainsi que d'histoires du folklore japonais. Dans un voyage visuellement somptueux à travers l'imagination du maître, les contes d'émerveillement enfantin cèdent la place à des apparitions apocalyptiques : un jeune garçon tombe sur un mariage de renard dans une forêt ; un soldat affronte les fantômes des morts à la guerre ; la fusion d'une centrale électrique étouffe un paysage balnéaire sous des vapeurs radioactives.
