“From socially conscious screeds and samurai flicks to psychotronic spy thrillers, this quick survey of ’60s movies from the Land of the Rising Sun promises lots of sound and fury.”—David Fear, Time Out NY
The decade of the ’60s produced a wide array and high quantity of films that made it the golden age of Japanese cinema. Politically radical New Wave films, formally vigorous art films, and mainstream genre films were produced side-by-side contributing to the vibrancy of the industry. This series showcases a sampling of films representative of this period. These diverging voices reflect acute attitudes toward a changing Japan, a sense of exploration, with hints of tradition. (All films in Japanese with English)
