Anyone doing Kurosawa (Akira) these days?

[Mathieu Capel]

Hello Markus

I'm afraid it won't fit your demand actually, but I just wanted to make an
announcement for french readers : the next number of french review Trafic
will propose a tokushu about Kurosawa with several papers, including one by
french cinematographer Luc Moullet, and another by myself (mine is about the
1948-1957 body of films, considered as strictly coherent : I focus on its
aesthetic dynamics, i.e. structural entropy, splitting of self (thanks to
illness), and the beam of lines as a visual signature and the center of this
system - with Kumonosujo being the greatest achievement of it... Well I
suppose I should write an english abstract, that would be much clearer...).
The best thing being the translation of a 1950 text by Kurosawa himself...
To be published next June or sooner, I think.
