Imamura Shohei

[Peter M. Grilli]

Imamura's death represents a great loss for the Japanese film world.
He was a not only a master director and a fine writer and educator ... but
also a kindly and considerate gentleman.
Perhaps the last great "engaged intellectual" of his generation in Japan.

Newspapers report that Imamura Shohei died today at age 79. Asahi Shinbun
has a very brief article on it, and although it is the headline in its
internet edition, very little information is given other than the fact
itself.
