The samurai film - Hardcover
1983 Columbus Books hardcover. Alain Silver (Film Noir Reader). The image of a lone hero, marked by a violent past and bound by honor, has exerted an endless fascination on film audiences the world over, but nowhere more than in Japan, where Samurai films have gained legions of passionate followers. Very likely the world's most astute Western analyst of this genre, Alain SIlver deconstructs the key aspects of this vital film genre, from its focus on violence and death as a means of understanding life and the significance of swords and weaponry to key elements and motifs such as hara-kiri, rebellion, and nostalgia for Japan's feudal past.- Amazon
