exalted's review against another edition
3.0
While the brief nature of the book makes the history of Japanese Cinema feel far more accessible and easily ingestible, it also acts as a curse as well as a blessing, feeling overly simplistic and rushed. Many areas which I would see as essential to japanese cinema are glossed over, and many fascinating directors seemingly left on the cutting room floor. A good beginning for a novice in the area but more of a starting point than anything else.
