"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 studios and directors worked quickly to capitalize on niche markets or upcoming and current trends, and how as a result this period of history in Japanese cinema was an exceptionally diverse and vibrant film scene. It highlights how, although the V-Cinema industry declined from around 1995, the explosion in quantity and variety of such movies established and cemented many specific genres of Japanese film. Importantly the book argues that film scholars who have long looked down on video as a substandard medium without scholarly interest have been wrong to do so, and that V-Cinema challenges accepted notions of cultural value, providing insight into the formation of cinematic canons and inviting us to rethink what is meant by "Japanese cinema""--

Het jaar 490 voor Christus. Athene is in oorlog met de Perzische koning Darius I. Aan de vooravond van de slag bij Marathon vertelt de jonge soldaat Leander aan de hand van zijn eigen leven over de recente geschiedenis van Athene. Hoe langer hij spreekt, hoe meer soldaten het verhaal willen horen. Ze luisteren ademloos hoe Leander als zoon van een welvarende, politiek geëngageerde olijvenkweker betrokken raakt bij de val van de tirannen Hippias en Hipparchos, hoe hij als schatkamerbewaarder de geheimen van het orakel van Delphi ontrafelt en hoe de burgers van Athene na jaren van onderdrukking door koningen en tirannen eindelijk het heft in eigen handen nemen.
