Le Samouraï
Book 218: BFI Film ClassicsLanguage: English
Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, GB, 2026
ISBN 10: 1839029633 ISBN 13: 9781839029639
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. In this compelling study, Daisuke Miyao explores Jean-Pierre Melville's cult 1967 thriller Le Samouraï, a film that unfolds in a coolly stylised Paris where the paths of a contract killer, Jef Costello (Alain Delon), and the police commissaire pursuing him (François Périer) fatally intersect.Despite its title, Le Samouraï, is not a sword-clashing tale of feudal Japan. Rather, Miyao suggests that the film's philosophical framework draws on both existentialism and the samurai moral philosophy of bushido, or 'the way of the warrior', and considers how these philosophies may help explain Jef Costello's identity crisis and his concluding act of self-annihilation. In a close analysis of Melville's technical and aesthetic decisions, Miyao highlights the film's use of close-ups to convey or mask emotion, the play of light and shadow, and the function of flashbacks and dream sequences in the narrative, as well as the meanings of Costello's pet bullfinch.Setting Le Samouraï within the shifting landscape of post-war French cinema, Miyao traces its dialogue with Hollywood film noir and Japanese art cinema, particularly Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950), suggesting that both genres informed and influenced Melville's film-making.Finally, Miyao discusses the film's enduring legacy, from Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) to Yoko M.'s 2020 novella Jef, a prequel to the film.

Paperback. Condition: New. Ozu and the Ethics of Indeterminacy re-examines cinema studies through the work of Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu, employing the multiple methodologies and indeterminacy of Ozu's films as a model for discussions of cinema's relationship to the world and the formation of film studies as a discipline. Centering a selection of Ozu films in each chapter, Daisuke Miyao builds a method based on the way films directed by Ozu avoid unitary perspective and allow multiple possibilities of standpoint and spectatorial position, which Miyao calls the ethics of indeterminacy. Analyzing Ozu's use of cinematography, narrative, and color, Miyao theorizes the indeterminate in film-the seen and unseen, human and nonhuman, domestic and international-to initiate a multi-directional dialogue on the study of cinema that reaches beyond auteurism and culturalism to establish a new basis for disciplinary conversations.
