[KineJapan] discount on new Kore-eda book

[Linda Ehrlich]

I’m pleased to report that Palgrave Macmillan is offering a discount on my new book for about 3 months. From the message from one of the editors:

The standard discount is 20% off, using code PM20TWENTY1. This is valid until March 31st.

I look forward to hearing your comments. Please do ask your libraries to order a copy. The ebook is available now, and the hardcover version in 2 weeks. Thanks.

Here is the back-cover description, minus the image, for the archive:

Book description

 The Films of KORE-EDA Hirokazu: An Elemental Cinema draws readers into the first 13 feature films and documentaries of award-winning Japanese film director KORE-EDA Hirokazu. With his recent top prize at the Cannes Film Festival for Shoplifters, Kore-eda is arguably Japan’s greatest living director with an international viewership. He approaches difficult subjects (child abandonment, suicide, marginality) with a realistic and compassionate eye.


 An Elemental Cinema presents Kore-eda’s oeuvre as a connected whole with overarching thematic concerns, despite frequent generic experimentation. It also offers an example of how the poetics of cinema can be practiced in writing, as well as on the screen, and helps readers understand the films of this contemporary director as works of art that relate to their own lives.
