3 Japanese fantasy cinema titles needed

[noble 1362]

Ooe-yama Shuten-dôji AKA The ogre of mount Oe directed by Tokuzo Tanaka (1960) or Nippon tanjo AKA The Birth of Japan (1959) directed by Hiroshi Inagaki are two to consider.

 

For the 80's how about Shuji Terayama's Saraba Hakobune aka Farewell To The Ark (1984) or Tenkosei aka Exchange Students (1982) directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi (although this may not meet your criteria) or Masahiro Shinoda's Sakura no mori no mankai no shita aka Under the Cherry Blossoms which is 1975 so may also not be applicable.

 

For the current decade there is Yoshitaka Amano's Yume jû-ya aka Ten Nights of Dreams (2006) or Sogo Ishii's Mizu no naka no hachigatsu AKA August in the Water (1995).

 

There are many more. These just come to mind right now and may not fit the "fantasy" film genre as tightly as you may want.

Subject: 3 Japanese fantasy cinema titles needed



Hi all,
 
I have posted here regarding the same research project before, and I have got to the stage of doing my own close analysis of subtitle translation of 3 films in different eras.  However, I am not so au fait with the range of fantasy films on offer, so I would be eternally grateful if somebody could suggest 3 Japanese fantasy film subtitles, one film from the 60s, one from the 80s, and one from this decade, and ones that have been subtitled into English. I am also looking for the scripts of the original japanese dialogues, and should be able to find them myself, but if anyone has links to those as well, that would be ideal. I have chosen the genre of fantasy due to its tendency to lend itself to opportunities for 'creative' translations.
 
Regards,
 
Claudia
