Film buffs, particularly fans of Japanese director Kurosawa, will be the main audience for this massive biography of Kurosawa and his most successful leading actor, Toshiro Mifune. Galbraith (an authority on Japanese cinema) thoroughly researched the lives and careers of both men, interviewing many of their colleagues. The development of Kurosawàs highly influential filmmaking style and the story of the relationship between Kurosawa and Mifune are told in exhaustive, chronological detail, as Galbraith recounts the stories behind the many films they made and the international reputations they came to enjoy. The volume includes a detailed filmography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
| | | | From The Publisher
Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune made sixteen feature films together, including Rashomon, Seven Samurai, and Yojimbo — all undisputed masterworks of world cinema. The Emperor and the Wolf is an in-depth look at these two great artists and their legacy that brims with behind-the-scenes details, many never before known, about their tumultuous lives and stormy relationships with the studios and with one another. More than just a biography, though, The Emperor and the Wolf is also an impromptu history of Japanese cinema — its development, filmmakers, and performers — and a provocative look at postwar American and Japanese culture and the different lenses through which two great societies viewed each other.
Stuart Galbraith IV is the author of numerous articles and four other books on film, including The Japanese Filmography and Monsters Are Attacking Tokyo! He lives in Los Angeles.
