ASIAN 2252
Introduction to Japanese Film

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

In this course, we will explore over one hundred years of Japanese cinema—one of the most prominent and diverse global film industries—from silent comedies to J-Horror, “ramen westerns” to Studio Ghibli. You will gain a thorough grounding in film vocabulary and tools of cinematic analysis, allowing for deep investigations of gender, genre, history, and the connections between film and other media in modern and contemporary Japan. All films will have English subtitles, and all readings will be available in English; no prior knowledge of Japanese language, history, or culture required. (SC)
