The two directors, one Japanese and the other German, clashed over the authenticity of the represented Japan and eventually directed two versions, \u003ci\u003eThe Samurai’s Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNew Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, based on a common script. The resulting films hold a firm place in film history as an exercise in, or reaction against, politically motivated propaganda, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Foreigner’s Cinematic Dream of Japan\u003c\/i\u003e contests the resulting oversimplification into nationalised and politicised dichotomies. Drawing on a wide range of Japanese and German original sources, as well as a comparative analysis of the ‘German-Japanese version’ and the elusive ‘Japanese-English version’, Iris Haukamp reveals the complexities of this international co-production. This exclusive research sheds light not only on the films themselves but also on the timeframe of its production, with both countries at the brink of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595501060332,"sku":"9781501369308","price":143.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781501369308-a-foreigner-s-cinematic-dream-of-japan.jpg?v=1777898453"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-iris-haukamp.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
