  • More World Class Japanese Cinema (Hybrid)
  • Fee: $30.00
    Item Number: 2025 SCOR127701
    Dates: 2/7/2025 - 4/25/2025
    Times: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

    Japan developed a sophisticated movie industry early in the 20th century, but Japanese cinema did not receive international attention and acclaim until after WWII. In this course we will watch a diverse collection of noteworthy Japanese movies. We may not speak Japanese or have an indepth knowledge of Japan’s unique history and culture, but we can still appreciate the brilliance of these films. This is because moviemaking, whether in Hollywood or Tokyo, relies on common technical, organizational, and narrative components. Focusing on these common components will help us appreciate the achievements of Japanese cinema. This course is a follow-up to the previous OLLI course, “Appreciating World Class Japanese Cinema”. (Note: All films are in Japanese with English subtitles.)
