SUMMARY:Celebrating Recent Work by Paul Anderer
DESCRIPTION:With fresh insights and vivid prose\, Anderer engages the G
 reat Earthquake of 1923\, the dynamic energy that surged thro
 ugh Tokyo in its wake\, and its impact on Kurosawa as a you
 th. When the city is destroyed again\, in the fire-bombings o
 f 1945\, Anderer reveals how Kurosawa grappled with the t
 rauma of war and its aftermath\, and forged his artistic visi
 on. Finally\, he resurrects the specter and the voice of a gi
 fted and troubled older brother—himself a star in the sile
 nt film industry—who took Kurosawa to see his first film
 s\, and who led a rebellious life until his desperate end. Br
 inging these formative forces into focus\, Anderer looks be
 yond the aura of Kurosawa’s fame and leads us deeper into 
 the tragedies and the challenges of his past. Kurosawa’sÂ
  Rashomon uncovers how a film like Rashomon came to be\, a
 nd why it endures to illuminate the shadows and the challeng
 es of our present.
