What is The Japanese New Wave?

1 View8 hours ago

The Japanese New Wave (Nūberu Bāgu, from the French “Nouvelle Vague”) was a bold, radical film movement that emerged in late 1950s Japan and extended through the 1960s and early ’70s. It paralleled other global new waves (like the French New Wave and Cinema Novo) but developed independently, with its own aesthetic, political, and cultural roots.
