Discuss two or more films we have watched in this course, building upon key concepts regarding Japanese cinema and culture. Your approach can be comparative (different approaches to a similar topic), contrastive (different interpretations or perspectives), analytical (close reading of stylistic differences toward a concrete interpretation), or class, this paper combines your skill of close reading from the descriptive paper to provide evidence for your interpretation of film. Your interpretation should build upon what visual elements of form, style, themes, and/or performance techniques you feel support your interpretation. The ‘cultural’ part of analysis asks that you contextualize the film within the general historical moment and cultural context of the film as part of your discussion. This information will be learned as part of Seminar and through the readings.
