Description

Explore the deep connection between Japan's literary traditions and its national cinema. This Routledge publication examines how the nation's modern literature has shaped its film history, from classic works to contemporary masterpieces. Japanese cinema stands out for its closeness to the written word. This relationship gained global attention when Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon won the Grand Prize at the Venice film festival in 1951 and an Oscar for best foreign film in 1952. More recent cinematic achievements, such as Shohei Imamura's Eel, which won the Palm d'Or at Cannes in 1997, highlight this ongoing influence. From Book to Screen provides a detailed look at these connections. The text offers a historical and cultural overview of how literary traditions translate to the screen, making it an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of film history and Japanese culture.
