Description
"Patterns of Time is a most welcome addition to the field of Japanese film studies, where it will have an immediate impact. Moreover, it is a welcome addition to all of Film Studies, not simply for the international stature of Mizoguchi, but for the meticulously applied methodology employed by the author."-David Desser, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "It is one of the scandals of English language film study that there is no book-length study of Mizoguchi. This book fills a gaping hole. There is basically nothing that approaches this work in depth and thoroughness. For specialists in Japanese film and twentieth century Japanese culture, this is an invaluable work. "-Tom Gunning, State University of New York at Purchase
