His works feature dramatic narratives and characters--radicals, outcasts and those on the margins--who struggle against adversity: \"I make bitter films. I hate mainstream society,\" Kazuo has avowed. \u003ci\u003eCamera Obtrusa\u003c\/i\u003e is the first English-language publication addressing his work. Composed as a straightforward handbook, the volume offers Kazuo's technical notes on his groundbreaking filmmaking. As such, it is invaluable to students and scholars, but it is also peppered with anecdotes from the freewheeling filmmaker's life. \u003ci\u003eCamera Obtrusa\u003c\/i\u003e also includes the full production notes to Kazuo's controversial and award-winning film, \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor's Naked Army Marches On\u003c\/i\u003e (1987), a filmography and a foreword by distinguished Japanese film historian, Abé Markus Nornes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuo Hara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885030444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885030443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaya Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.43h x 6.29w x 1.01d","brand":"Kazuo Hara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46383837184255,"sku":"9781885030443","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_092a11d1-0917-40e8-9981-246c1ae86151.jpg?v=1733281825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/camera-obtrusa-kazuo-hara-9781885030443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
