Description

Explore the complex relationship between history films and Japanese society in Re-Viewing the Past: The Uses of History in the Cinema of Imperial Japan. Published by Bloomsbury, this academic work by Sean O'Reilly analyzes how audiences, reviewers, and censors interacted with cinema during the significant years from 1925 to 1945. The text examines the popular Bakumatsu period (1853-1868), a time marking Japan's emergence as a modern nation. By studying these films, O'Reilly provides a way to reinterpret Japanese pre and postwar cinema. The book explains how setting stories in the Bakumatsu era provided cultural breathing room for both filmmakers and viewers, creating a cinematic space for engagement during a transformative era in Japanese history.
