JAPANESE LISTS ON MUBI

Click on Read More and the links.

One of the glories of Mubi is the number of superb lists. Japan has been very well served. and by people who know the subject better than i do. So, i thought this collection deserves its own list. Sadly, some users whose lists were here have left Mubi, so I am having to update and delete accordingly.

Among my own lists, there’s
Kenji’s Japanese Canon (an introductory overview),
Japanese Directors ,
Mizoguchi Revered,
Directors round Mizoguchi (for anyone interested in my favourite director),
Essential Japanese Anime ,
Yoshida,
Essential Samurai Films,
5 Heroines of Japan’s Golden Age,
How Hara Setsuko Stole Our Hearts,
Films about Japanese Cinema,
Japan by Visitors
