He’s one of only five directors to ever win the Cannes Palme d’Or twice and yet his films remain seldom seen outside of Japan. But fans of Japanese master Shohei Imamura in New York are in for a treat with an extensive retrospective of the man’s work playing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music through March. The series includes twenty films, including a week long run of Vengeance is Mine screening from a brand new print. Hit the link below for the BAM website and read on for details.
Pimps, Prostitutes, and Pigs: Shohei Imamura’s Japan, Mar 2-29
A leading force behind Japan’s New Wave and one of only five directors to win the Cannes Palme d’Or twice, Shohei Imamura (1926-2006) rebelled against the classical themes of his mentor, Yasujiro Ozu. Instead, Imamura embraced the darker side of Japan that simmers beneath the manners, order, and ceremony-focusing on the carnality, squalor, and violence within his country’s social periphery. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to discover one of Japan’s great visceral filmmakers. All films directed by Shohei Imamura and in Japanese with English subtitles.
Highlights include:
Vengeance is Mine
Special week-long run! New print!
“The best Japanese film of the seventies."-LA Weekly
The Insect Woman
“darkly elegant"-The New York Times
The Pornographers
“kinky and satirical"-Chicago Reader
Intentions of Murder
“an authentic shocker"-The New York Times
The Ballad of Narayama
“Awe-inspiring"-Time Out London
