Could anyone suggest me a book about Teinosuke KINUGASA, in japanese or in English, that would deal with his "surrealist", or "impressionist" movies : KURUTTA IPPEIJI (1926), aka A Crazy Page ; and JUJIRO (1928), aka Crossroads, or Shadows of the Yoshiwara ? Books with many images from those films would be just as much welcome.

> 2. Could anyone suggest me books in Japanese about the director Masaki KOBAYASHI : biography, or interviews, for instance, or even some sites on the web ? In "gaijin" languages, all I could find is Joan Mellen's interview in her book "Voices from the Japanese Cinema" or C.R.Blouin's interviews in french. Has anyone heard of something else by chance?
> 
1.  J. Peterson on "Kurutta Ippeiji":  "A War of Total Rebellion" in
Cinema Journal 29:1 (Fall 1989) 36-53.  Places Kinugasa in the J'se
avant-garde of the 1920s.

2.  There's an introductory profile and interview w/ Kobayashi by L.
Hoaglund, in the Cultural Studies journal "positions" 2:2 (1994)
382-405.  Centers on K.'s views about film music.
