The work discusses gender, the family, travel, the 'everyday' as horror, and ways in which animated films can offer an ideal space in which an ideal conception of identity may emerge and thrive. It presents close, theoretically-informed textual analyses of the thematic issues contemporary Japanese films raise, through a wide range of genres, from comedy, family drama, and animation, to science fiction and horrror by directors such as Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Morita Yoshimitsu, Miike Takashi, Oshii Mamoru, Kon Satoshi, and Miyazaki Hayao, in language that is accessible but precise. 410 0$aBrill's Japanese studies library ;$vv. 30. 606 $aMotion pictures$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures 676 $a791.430952 700 $aIles$b Timothy$f1961-$01023349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455282903321 996 $aThe crisis of identity in contemporary Japanese film$92450713 997 $aUNINA
