Shohei Imamura

I got this book from the library and actually liked it, despite bad reviews on amazon. Shohei Imamura (Cinematheque Ontario Monographs) [Paperback] edited by James Quandt:

The book is a collection of articles - some of them translated from French - about Shohei Imamura's style, themes, career, etc. It was very informative since it was my first source of getting acquainted with this great director. I loved The Ballad of Narayama (1983), Black Rain (1989), The Insect Woman (1963), Pigs and Battleships (1961) and will surely watch the rest of his films.

The Pornographers (1966)
Eijanaika (1981)
Unholy Desire (1964)
The Pornographers (1966)
A Man Vanishes (1967)
The Profound Desire of the Gods or Kuragejima - Legends from a Southern Island (1968)
History of Postwar Japan as Told by a Bar Hostess (1970)
Karayuki-san, the Making of a Prostitute (1975)
