The Midnight Eye Guide to New Japanese Film
Midnight Eye is one of - if not the - most comprehensive, passionate and downright readable websites devoted to Japanese cinema of recent years, a genre that has reinvented itself with a passion that has extended way beyond Japan - or even Asia - to influence directors as diverse as Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Darren Aronofsky and Quentin Tarantino.
Now, The Midnight Eye Guide to New Japanese Film offers a groundbreaking and gap-filling insight into the inner workings of the industry and the leading creative minds that have made Japan such a cinematic talking point. From the exuberant excesses of Takashi Miike, via the gangster cool of Takeshi Kitano and the atmospheric horror of Hideo Nakata, to the restrained humanism of Hirokazu Kore-eda, this brand new book shines a revealing light on the many fascinating aspects of Japanese film.
Written by MidnightEye.com’s editors Tom Mes and Jasper Sharp, and created with the collaboration of the filmmakers themselves, this is an indispensable guide to one of the most exciting film industries in the world today.
