Japanese film is enduringly fascinating; challenging and rewarding. This book provides a cultural; historical and philosophical study of Japanese film; from the silent era to the present-day; focusing on its expansive consciousness. The author examines masterpieces by Ozu; Mizoguchi; Oshima and many other directors; discussing their influence on the Japanese culture of esoteric Zen Buddhism and relating them to recent neuroscientific theories of brain trauma.
