Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2016 02:06:05 +0000 Subject: [KineJapan] Hasumi X Barthes In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: This is a fascinating interview, and sheds some light on Hasumi's use of terms from Barthes in other contexts. It's also interesting to see Barthes' reluctance to analyze Flaubert (though the comments he makes here are very interesting). I noticed the last time I was in Kinokuniya that Hasumi's career-long study of Flaubert, extending back to his doctoral dissertation, has finally come out in an enormous volume. Somewhere in my files I have a special issue, maybe of Umi, on Barthes with which Hasumi was heavily involved, if I recall. I wonder if that issue is where this interview was published. The translation doesn't give the full citation.

This is unfortunate, I'd say, because it sheds an interesting light on Barthes' premise as "western civilization sickness" (what he seems to share with Noel Burch). See page 308 here, "I understood right away that the Japanese wouldn't recognize themselves in it', etc. : such a sentence is actually crucial, among others here... And can explain the misunderstanding between French critics and Japanese filmmakers around that time, for Barthes was such a huge influence for, say, Cahiers du Cin?ma back then.

Berlin wasn't on my agenda this year but I see it's jointly curated with Hong Kong (which runs from 21st March to 4th April) and, since they're "newly digitised", they might travel, at least in Germany.If anyone hears, please let us know.Roger ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "press at berlinale.de" To: press at berlinale.de Sent: Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 11:06 Subject: Berlinale Pressemitteilung / Press Release: Forum 2016 - Special Screenings Pressemitteilung / PressRelease?

(for English version see below)Forum2016:Special Screenings ? Miteiner Reihe von Special Screenings, die von einem monumentalen Reisefilm zufilmhistorischen Ausgrabungen reichen oder sich der Auseinandersetzung mitFilmen und Filmgeschichte widmen, komplettiert das Forum seinProgramm. ? Aufden Spuren von Adelbert von Chamisso, James Cook und anderen fr?henWeltreisenden hat die K?nstlerin Ulrike Ottinger eine Reise von Alaska ?berTschukotka nach Kamtschatka unternommen. Wie ihre Vorg?nger f?hrt sie einLogbuch, gepr?gt von ihrem vertrauten ethnografischen und k?nstlerischenInteresse, das sich auch in Bildern zeigt: Wasser, Fische, Seeotter, Steine,Vulkane, Tundra, H?user, D?rfer, Fotografien, Objekte, Landkarten. Menschen, diesie trifft, sprechen ?ber ihr Leben, ?ber Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Ottingerszw?lfst?ndiger Film Chamissos Schatten er?ffnet das diesj?hrigeForum mit einer Mammutvorf?hrung am 12. Februar im Haus der BerlinerFestspiele. Zum Ende des Festivals wird das beispiellose Werk in drei Teilen imCineStar am Potsdamer Platz wiederholt. ? Unterdem Titel "Hachimiri Madness ? Japanese Indies from the Punk Years" zeigt dasForum eine Reihe neu digitalisierter und untertitelter japanischer8-mm-Filme aus den Jahren von 1977 bis 1990, die den rebellischen Geist jenerZeit atmen. Viele der heute profilierten Regisseure Nippons deb?tierten mitlangen Spielfilmen in diesem Format ? die wenigsten davon sind je internationalgezeigt worden. Die Reihe wurde gemeinsam kuratiert von Keiko Araki (PIA Tokio),Jacob Wong (Hong Kong Film Festival) und Christoph Terhechte (BerlinaleForum). ? DieReihe reicht von Klassikern wie Sion Sonos I am Sion Sono!!, in dem sichder damals 22-J?hrige dem Publikum nonchalant und selbstbewusst als Punk-Poetvorstellt, und Shinya Tsukamotos The Adventure of Denchu-Kozo, einemh?chst kreativen, wilden Cyberpunk-Drama, bis zu den kaum bekannten Fr?hwerkensolcher Regisseure wie Sogo Ishii (heute Gakuryu Ishii), Masashi Yamamoto,Nobuhiro Suwa und Shinobu Yaguchi. ? InYamamotos anarchischem Spielfilmdeb?t Saint Terrorism schie?t ein M?dchen im rosa-gelben Outfit aus ihrer wei?enHandtasche scheinbar wahllos auf Unschuldige, und uniformierte Sektenanh?ngertransportieren die Leichen ab. Yaguchil?sst in dem wunderbar melancholischen The Rain Women zwei junge Frauenmit dem Fahrrad durch den ?convenience store? brausen, unter Verschlei?zahlreicher Regenschirme durch feuchte Landschaften stolpern und als J-Pop-Duo?Singing in the Rain? tr?llern. Und in Suwas Gangster-Ballade HanasaseruGang gewinnt man den Eindruck, Pierrot le fou habe sich ins Japan derfr?hen 80er verirrt. ? Inihrem Film-Essay Verfluchte Liebe deutscher Film gehen Dominik Graf undJohannes F. Sievert der Frage nach, warum es das Genre-Kino in Deutschland soschwer hat. In Gespr?chen und mit Filmausschnitten erinnern sie unter anderem andie M?nchner Szene der 60er und 70er Jahre, als Klaus Lemke oder Roland Klick incoolen, physischen, gewaltt?tigen, schmutzigen Filmen ein anderes, abgr?ndigesDeutschland zeigten. ? RudolfThomes eigensinniges Werk ist in einer Kontinuit?t entstanden, die zu denAusnahmef?llen im deutschen Kino geh?rt ? er drehte seit 1968 in gut vierJahrzehnten 28 Langfilme. Das Verfassen des Drehbuchs von Film Nr. 29 und dieVersuche, eine Finanzierung auf die Beine zu stellen, sind der rote Faden desPortr?tfilms Rudolf Thome ? ?berall Blumen von Serpil Turhan, der ausGespr?chen und Beobachtungen an Thomes Wohnort, einem ehemaligen Bauernhof imBrandenburgischen besteht. Man erlebt ihn als G?rtner, als Vater, alsFahrradfahrer und als Darsteller seiner selbst.

TheForum now completes its programmewith a series of Special Screenings that run the gamut between a monumentaltravelogue, newly unearthed film historical gems and works that grapple withboth cinema and its history.? ? ArtistUlrike Ottinger embarked on a journey from Alaska via Chukchi to Kamchatka onthe trail of Adelbert von Chamisso, James Cook and other early world explorers.Like her predecessors, she kept a logbook that bears the mark of herethnographic and artistic interests, which also appear in images: water, fish,sea otters, stones, volcanoes, the tundra, houses, villages, photographs,objects, maps. The people she meets talk about their lives and about the pastand the present. Ottinger?s twelve-hour film Chamissos Schatten (Chamisso?s Shadow) opens this year?s Forum with a mammoth screening at theHaus der Berliner Festspiele on February 12. At the end of the festival, thisunparalleled work will be repeated in three separate parts at CineStar atPotsdamer Platz. ? Underthe title "Hachimiri Madness ? Japanese Indies from the Punk Years", the Forum is showing a series of newlydigitised and subtitled Japanese 8-mm films from 1977 to 1990 which breathe therebellious spirit of that era. Many of the highest profile directors Japan hasto offer today made their debut features in this format ? very few of them haveever been shown internationally. The series was jointly curated by Keiko Araki(PIA Tokyo), Jacob Wong (Hong Kong Film Festival) and Christoph Terhechte(Berlinale Forum). ? Theseries includes Sion Sono?s I am SionSono!!, in which the then 22-year-old introduced himself to audiences as apunk poet in nonchalant, self-confident style, and Shinya Tsukamoto?s The Adventure of Denchu-Kozo, a hugelycreative, wild cyberpunk drama, whilst also taking in the largely unknown earlyworks of directors such as Sogo Ishii (today Gakuryu Ishii), Masashi Yamamoto,Nobuhiro Suwa and Shinobu Yaguchi. ? InYamamoto?s anarchic feature debut SaintTerrorism, a girl in a pink and yellow outfit shoots innocent people atseeming random with a gun concealed in her white handbag, with the bodies beingcarried off by the uniform-wearing members of a cult. Yaguchi?s wonderfullymelancholy The Rain Women has twowomen ride their bikes through a convenience store, wear out countless umbrellaswhilst wandering through the soggy landscape and warble ?Singing in the Rain?dressed as a J-Pop duo. And in Suwa?s gangster ballad Hanasaseru Gang, it?s hard to escape theimpression that Pierrot le fou haswandered into the Japan of the early 80s. ? Intheir film essay Verfluchte Liebedeutscher Film (Doomed Love - AJourney through German Genre Films), Dominik Graf and Johannes F. Sievertaddress the question of why genre cinema has such a difficult time in Germany.Drawing on interviews and film excerpts, their recollections also extend to theMunich scene of the 60s and 70s, when Klaus Lemke or Roland Klick acted in cool,physical, violent and dirty films that showed a very different Germany, oneteetering on the edge of the abyss.? ? RudolfThome?s idiosyncratic oeuvre was produced with a continuity that is more of anexception than the rule in German cinema ? he has shot 28 features over the morethan four decades since 1968. His work on the script for film number 29 and hisattempts to get financing off the ground form the main threads of SerpilTurhan?s portrait film Rudolf Thome ??berall Blumen (Rudolf Thome ? Flowers Everywhere),which consists of conversations and observations at Thome?s home, a formerfarmyard in Brandenburg. We see him as a gardener, a father, a cyclist and aperformer of his own persona.?

I finally decided to go over it, and to indulge in this uneasy task, to let you know about a book I published last October. All apologies then, hoping that, nevertheless, people reading french around here might be interested. The book, called *Evasion du Japon* (*Escape from Japan*) after Yoshida Kij?'s 1964 film, was published by Les Prairies Ordinaires, as you may see by cliking here : http://www.lesprairiesordinaires.com/eacutevasion-japon.html For those of you who cannot read french, let me say a few words of explanation. The opening finds Adachi & Wakamatsu, Imamura and Yoshida in the mid-seventies, far from Japan, almost at the same time (Lebanon, Malaysia and Egypt). This coincidence has always be an enigma to me, for those three (or four) filmmakers have very few in common. The book is an attempt then to understand, from an aesthetical and historical point of view, how it happened. By the way, my point here was not to finally find what they posibly had in common, but to describe as precisely as possible what were their differencies. To put in other words, I try to describe Japanese New Wave, in some kind of twisted-Foucault-manner (blame it on french education, I guess), as a new paradigm or discursive space I shall call High Growth Cinema, that was structured by "opposite" tendancies, whose incarnation were, basically, Adachi, Imamura, and Yoshida. It might not be an overview of cinema in the sixties (despite its full title), but tries to stick to era-defining films and filmmakers, discussing Matsumoto,Nakai or Yoshida's cinema theories, then bumping into films by Ichikawa, Yamada, Matsumoto,Teshigahara, Takechi, Kumai, Shinoda, Hani, Kanai, etc. And, needless to say, Adachi, Wakamatsu, Imamura and Yoshida. Sorry once more for this shameful self-promoting sequence, and thank you all for your attention. Mathieu Capel Paris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To probably no one's surprise, it selected Kono kuni no sora, a film directed by the magazine's publisher, Arai Haruhiko, as the number 1 film. This year's list is not too different from KineJun's. It seems the gap between the two has been disappearing in recent years. Eigei also picks the worst ten, no. 1 of which was Harada Masato's Nihon no ichiban nagai hi. Best: 1) Kono kuni no sora (Arai Haruhiko) 2) Happy Hour (Ryusuke Hamaguchi) 3) Gonin Saga (Ishii Takashi) 4) Sayonara Kabukicho (Hiroki Ryuichi) 5) Koibitotachi (Hashiguchi Ryosuke) 6) Rolling (Tominaga Masanori) 7) Bakuman (One Hitoshi) 8) Nobi (Tsukamoto Shin'ya) 9) Kishibe no tabi (Kurosawa Kiyoshi) 10) Eiga Shin'ya shokudo (Matsuoka Joji) Worst: 1) Nihon no ichiban nagai hi (Harada Masato) 2) Ryuzo to shichinin no kobuntachi (Kitano Takeshi) 3) Umimachi Diary (Koreeda Hirokazu) 4) Tenku no hachi (Tsutsumi Yukihiko) 5) An (Kawase Naomi) http://eigageijutsu.com/article/432751856.html Aaron Gerow Professor Film and Media Studies Program/East Asian Languages and Literatures Director of Graduate Studies, EALL Yale University 320 York Street, Room 311 PO Box 208324 New Haven, CT 06520-8324 USA Phone: 1-203-432-7082 Fax: 1-203-432-6729 e-mail: aaron.gerow at yale.edu website: www.aarongerow.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'll be on the lookout when these films appear in Brazil. Is refreshing to see the Kawase movie among the worsts. I'm a huge fan of her work, but found this one to be very weak. Unfortunately and kind of understandable is her first film to hit the Brazilian circuit, and is kind of a hit in the art-film circuit. friendly, Mateus Nagime Universidade Federal de S?o Carlos 2016-01-19 12:19 GMT-02:00 Gerow Aaron : > The Eiga Geijutsu best ten has been announced.
