Tanaka Kinuyo : nation, stardom and female subjectivity /
edited by Irene González-López and Michael Smith.
- Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2020.
- 1 online resource (xv, 214 pages) : illustrations (black and white).
Praised as amongst the greatest actors in the history of Japanese cinema, Tanaka Kinuyo's career spanned the industrial development of cinema - from silent to sound, monochrome to colour. Alongside featuring in films by Ozu, Mizoguchi, Naruse and Kurosawa, Tanaka was also the only Japanese woman filmmaker between 1953 and 1962, and her films tackled distinctly feminine topics such as prostitution and breast cancer. Her career overlapped with a transformative period in Japanese history, and this close analysis of her fascinating life and work offers new perspectives, subjectivities and modes of analysis for the classical era of Japanese cinema.
