The two directors, one Japanese and the other German, clashed over the authenticity of the represented Japan and eventually directed two versions, \u003ci\u003e The Samurai's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003eand \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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Foreigner's Cinematic Dream of Japan\u003c\/i\u003econtests 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iris Haukamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150136930X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501369308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Iris Haukamp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173216743679,"sku":"9781501369308","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc3c179a-1752-4be9-bb7f-0efb946ac692.jpg?v=1689791628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-foreigners-cinematic-dream-of-iris-haukamp-9781501369308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
