From the early days of occupation political censorship to the social and cultural freedoms of the 1960s and beyond, the book examines how images of the nuclear event appear in post-war Japanese cinema.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each chapter begins by focusing upon one or more of three key Deleuzian themes - image, history and thought - before going on to look at a selection of films from 1945 to the present day. These include movies by well-known directors Kurosawa Akira, Shindo Kaneto, Oshima Nagisa and Imamura Shohei; popular and cult classics - \u003ci\u003eGodzilla\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), \u003ci\u003eAkira\u003c\/i\u003e (1988) and \u003ci\u003eTetsuo\u003c\/i\u003e (1989); contemporary genre flicks - \u003ci\u003eRing\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), \u003ci\u003eDead or Alive\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and \u003ci\u003eCasshern\u003c\/i\u003e (2004); the avant-garde and rarely seen documentaries.
