A bold new approach to Japanese film history set within a global context.



TIME FRAMES: Japanese Cinema and the Unfolding of History

Scott Nygren

Time Frames explores how Japanese film criticism and history has been

written before and after Rashomon. Scott Nygren looks at the emergence of

video art and anime, highlighting the creative exchange among North

American, European, and Asian media. He places Japanese film at the center

of this discourse, and, ultimately, reveals its global role as a cultural

medium.



³Time Frames shows how ever since Rashomon¹s stunning appearance in Venice,

Japan¹s postwar dance with its Western partners has defined, invigorated,

and questioned its own culture and that of the West along the way.² ‹Dudley
