The Warrior's Camera - The Cinema of Akira Kurosawa

 

The book shows how Kurosawa attempted to symbolize on fi l m a course of national development for postwar Japan,and it traces the ways that he tied his social visions to a dynamic system of visual and narrative forms. The author a nalyze Kurosawa's entire career and places the films in context by drawing on the director's autobiography a fascinating work that presents Kurosawa as a Kurosawa character and the story of his life as the kind of spi ritual odyssey wi tnessed so often in his films.
After examining the development of Kurosawa's visual style in his early work, The Warrior's Camera explains how he used this style in subsequent films to forge a political y committed model of film making . It then demonstrates how the col l aps of Kuro awa's efforts to participate as a film maker in the tasks of social reconstruction led to the very different cinematic style evident in his most recent films, works of pessimism that view the world as reistant to change.
