The Warrior's Camera
The Warrior's Camera: The Cinema of Akira Kurosawa is a 1991 non-fiction book by Stephen Prince, published by Princeton University Press, discussing Akira Kurosawa's films from the beginning until 1985. Prior to the publication of this book, there was only one other scholarly book work, The Films of Akira Kurosawa, chronicling the whole collection of Kurosawa's works.[1]
Background[edit]
The book relies on sources from Western countries, and does not rely on Japanese sources.[2]
Contents[edit]
The book groups its content thematically instead of chronologically.[3]
Reception[edit]
Joanne R. Bernardi of Ibaraki University stated that the book "is a valuable study".[2]
Arthur Noletti, Jr. of Framingham State College described the book as "ambitious",[4] and that it is "thoughtful, stimulating, and rigorous".[5]
