You
might have noticed the content on my blog has slowed down a bit. Chalk it off to holiday blues, watching a
slew of mediocre flicks that defy critique, a general malaise, or what have
you, but things are about to pick up in a hurry. You see, there’s one thing that only happens
once a year that I can’t help but get excited about… You can keep Christmas and
New Year’s Day, because Japan-uary III, my latest month-long tribute to cinema
from the Land of the Rising Sun, is almost upon us.
It’s
another opportunity to discuss some of my favorite films, and hopefully
discover some new favorites along the way.
Join me, as I take an honest, albeit uncultured look at the works of Kurosawa,
Ôtomo, Miike, Kawasaki, and many others throughout January. One month of the year isn’t nearly enough to explore
the output from a country that consistently produces some of the most
compelling (and beguiling) film the cinematic world has to offer, but fear not –
I suspect Japan-uary IV is an inevitability.
As
always, stay tuned…
