Reviews
"A rich historical analysis. Recommended."
-- S. Pepper Choice
"Provocative."
-- Etsuo Kono Japan News
“Deeply thought-provoking. . . . Alexander Zahlten’s study represents a major scholarly contribution to the fields of Japanese film and media studies and allied disciplines. The End of Japanese Cinema is a remarkable achievement in the scholarship of film and media, both from and in Japan.”
-- Rea Amit Film Quarterly
“The End of Japanese Cinema is an innovative account of some significant currents within modern Japanese film which have tended to be marginalised.”
-- Alexander Jacoby Sight & Sound
"Zahlten’s nuanced readings of these industrial genres introduce concepts and terms that will be used productively for years to come. This book is an important contribution and should be read widely by scholars of Japan studies and film and media studies, particularly those interested in contemporary Japan."
-- Charles Exley Journal of Japanese Studies
