Japanese Film And The Challenge Of Video (Media, Culture And Social Change In Asia)

This book explores the phenomenon of V-Cinema, founded in Japan in 1989 as a distribution system for direct-to-video movies which film companies began making having failed to recoup their investment in big budget films. It examines how this period of history in Japanese cinema was an exceptionally diverse and vibrant film scene.
