We are a podcast dedicated to exploring the unbridled aesthetic wonders and cultural idiosyncrasies of Japan’s national cinema. Our aim is to cover everything from the lauded classics like Ozu and Mizoguchi, to the cult favourites such as Tsukamoto and Suzuki, all the way up to the contemporary gems like Sono and Miike. Join us as we deconstruct what make Japan’s cinema unlike any other, one film at a time.
