The films of Kiku Shishido

Author: (Japan) Kikuo Kuma / Yu Hong / Kazuyo Morikawa
Publisher:
Publish Date: 1997-08-01
Features: The book Kikuo Kuma's Films is a collection of selected and revised articles from the author's works Film and Poison and The Deep River of Film, specifically chosen for Chinese readers. To provide readers with a better understanding of his recent creative endeavors, the author has also added an article about his film Love, completed in February 1997. This opportunity for the author to translate Kikuo Kuma's works together with his Japanese friend, Ms. Kazuyo Morikawa, has allowed the author to gain an in-depth understanding of the Japanese film director's creative process, his emotions, and his thought patterns. In the process, the author gradually discovered a true Japanese person, a film poet. More importantly, the author found a Japanese filmmaker who has loved China, Chinese culture, and the Chinese people with purity and sincerity since his childhood until today. The Chinese film publishing house's ability to publish Kikuo Kuma's Films is something the author has long looked forward to.
