De la forme cinématographique, ordonnatrice d'univers, d'histoires et de décors, jusqu'aux corps des personnages, constructions de chair, d'imaginaire, de social et de celluloïd, le cinéma japonais contemporain se saisit toujours d'une manière ou d'une autre d'une problématique identité japonaise moderne, mais dit aussi le besoin impérieux de la penser par le biais de l'art. Car cet élément contextuel ne s'est pas incarné dans la matière filmique en n'y trouvant qu'une écorce passive. Altérations de la transparence du langage cinématographique, interrogations de la temporalité, fascination inquiète de l'altérité et de la dépossession de soi, figures du double et de l'amnésique, images du corps au prisme du butô : au coeur du cinéma japonais d'aujourd'hui, le questionnement des cadres esthétiques ne se déprend jamais d'une réflexion sur l'incertitude des cadres sociaux et identitaires. L'élan qui porte les cinéastes vers le cinéma semble toujours relancer, au Japon, cette question anxieuse de Kiyoshi Kurosawa : " Mon point de départ, c'est toujours moi-même, être humain habitant à Tôkyô. Mais ce " moi " qu'est-ce que c'est précisément ? De quoi est faite mon identité ? Cette interrogation, fil conducteur tissé d'angoisses et d'espoirs, sera aussi un fil d'Ariane guidant l'exploration d'un vaste territoire cinématographique : le cinéma japonais de 1989 à aujourd'hui. A travers l'étude de plus d'une centaine d'oeuvres, parmi lesquelles des films de Takeshi Kitano, Takashi Miike, Rokurô Mochizuki, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Masato Harada, Toshiaki Toyoda, Shinji Aoyama, Ryûichi Hiroki, Nobuhiro Suwa, c'est une possible cartographie du cinéma japonais actuel et de ses enjeux qui se dessine ici.

The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano: Flowering Blood is a detailed aesthetic, Deleuzian, and phenomenological exploration of Japan's finest currently-working film director, performer, and celebrity. The volume uniquely explores Kitano's oeuvre through the tropes of stillness and movement, becoming animal, melancholy and loss, intensity, schizophrenia, and radical alterity; and through the aesthetic temperatures of color, light, camera movement, performance and urban and oceanic space. In this highly original monograph, all of Kitano's films are given due consideration, including A Scene at the Sea (1991), Sonatine (1993), Dolls (2002), and Outrage (2010).

This comprehensive look at Japanese cinema in the 1990s includes nearly four hundred reviews of individual films and a dozen interviews and profiles of leading directors and producers. Interpretive essays provide an overview of some of the key issues and themes of the decade, and provide background and context for the treatment of individual films and artists.In Mark Schilling's view, Japanese film is presently in a period of creative ferment, with a lively independent sector challenging the conventions of the industry mainstream. Younger filmmakers are rejecting the stale formulas that have long characterized major studio releases, reaching out to new influences from other media-television, comics, music videos, and even computer games-and from both the West and other Asian cultures. In the process they are creating fresh and exciting films that range from the meditative to the manic, offering hope that Japanese film will not only survive but thrive as it enters the new millennium.
