Japan

As so far as these blogs go, I pick a theme and then talk about it through a particular movie. i.e. talk about sci-fi through Sunshine, Westerns through A Few Dollars More and formulas through Seven. Now, if I said I had a speciality when it comes to film it would be Japanese cinema. So, I thought I might talk about Japan through a string of blogs.

The quintessential Japanese films would be the anime, Spirited Away in this case, the ultra-violent mind-fuck, Battle Royale, and the samurai film, Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece Ran. Should I do this introduction as a separate blog or part of the first film? Yeh, separate blog. Makes it look like I've done more...
