> The Urban Jungle: The Modern City in Japanese Film
>
>
>
> Long favored by an urban audience, the Japanese cinema has  
> continued to explore the city as part of a larger question of what  
> constitutes Japanese modernity. These three films, rarely screened  
> outside Japan, share narratives of urban streets filled with jazz  
> and violence, love and hope, frustration and protest, but offer  
> varied stances and programs for dealing with both the city and  
> perhaps its artistic correlate, the cinema.
