shukan kinyobi: Kasahara Tokushi on Nanking 1937

[Silke Harbodt]

Hi there,

I found a hint to a review of "Nanking 1937" written by Kasahara Tokushi and published in Shukan Kinyobi on April 24 1998 (No. 216, p. 42). Unfortunately, I can't get hands on it. Does anybody have it and can send it to me via email?
That would be very helpful for me.

Thanks a lot,
Silke

> Of the three films "Don?t Cry, Nanking" certainly got the most attention,

> "Pride" hit the cinemas. Both films were diametrically opposed and both caused

> climax on June 6, 1998, when a Japanese right wing slashed the screen of

> happened  11 years earlier with Hara Kazuo?s documentary "Yuki Yukite Shingun". 
> Kimata Junji, the manager of the Nagoya based Cinema Skhole (which by the

> magazine Eiga Geijutsu Nr.386 (Winter 1998) which features a tokushu dedicated to

> the Japanese reaction to the film. 
> A film you should also look for is Matsui Minoru's "Riben guizi" (2001).
> In this documentary former soldiers of the Imperial Army tell about the
> indiscriminate murders, rapes, tortures and other crimes they commited in China
> (including Nanking). The Japanese distributor of the film, Image Forum,
