Akira Kurosawa and Intertextual Cinema

Akira Kurosawa and Intertextual Cinema

Editorial Reviews
Review

"Goodwin's analysis is most interesting in tis account of how many Kurosawa plots (like Rashomon and Ikiru feature a modernist competition between texts to argue a version of what 'really' happened."-- Journal of Asian Studies

"A dense, theoretically sophisticated account of the intertextual nature of film as a medium. Goodwin discusses here, among other things, interculturality, the problematic notion of the auteur, and the dialogic production processes employed by Kurosawa. Above all, Kurosawa is described as a film-maker for whom life and art are always in the process of becoming, never static or singular."-- Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory

Review

"This is the first book that attempts to link his work to trends and issues that cut across national boundaries and transcend immediate historical circumstances. Extremely well written, well considered, and provocative, it moves Kurosawa's cinema into the realm of international culture where it belongs."--David Desser, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
