The Emperor and the Wolf: The Lives and Films of Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune ペーパーバック – 2003/2/1
英語版
IV Galbraith, Stuart
(著)
02 The first -- and long overdue -- English-language biography of two of the world's great cinema figures. Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune made sixteen feature films together, including Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, and High and Low -- all undisputed masterworks of world cinema. Kurosawa's films inspired blockbuster remakes and influenced directors like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. Meanwhile, Mifune virtually invented the roaming warrior rogue, a character adapted with great success by actors like Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Bruce Willis, and countless others. Their impact on the international film world is undisputable, yet at the very height of their abilities, Kurosawa and Mifune went their separate ways. After Red Beard in 1965 they would never work together again -- nor would they ever achieve the same level of success apart as they had together.
The Emperor and the Wolf is an in-depth look at the life and work of these two luminaries of cinema. Full of behind-the-scenes details about their tumultuous lives and stormy relationships with the studios and each other, it is also a provocative look at postwar American and Japanese culture and the different lenses through which the two societies viewed each other.

まず第一に、そのボリュームに圧倒される。何と800頁以上!こちらの映画学科の学生、先生達の間でも話題になっている本です。ここに掲載されている写真のいくつかは日本の雑誌でも掲載されていなかった物も多く、また記事もいままでの黒沢関係の本に収録されていないインタビューも数多く含まれています。黒沢映画、いや映画ファンに絶対お勧めの1冊!

分厚さに圧倒された買いましたが、さて、パラパラと読んだ限りでは、事実関係が時系列で書かれているだけで、欧米人の読者ならともかく黒澤の評伝や自伝を読んでいる人には、いま一つの内容です。別に自殺未遂の真相が明かされるといった新事実が出るわけでもないし……。
写真は、確かに珍しい物が多かったです。

looking forward to start browsing in this extensive story with many facts and data by Galbraith, as Kurosawa is one of my favourite directors, Mifune one of my favourite actors and I like the Japanese way of making movies. but don't expect me to read this biography from beginning to end in just one week !

"The Emperor and the Wolf" is a fine reference book, particularly useful in regards to filmography and timeline. The research is exhaustive. I learned quite a bit about the arc of both Kurosawa's and Mifune's careers.
If you want more about Kurosawa the man, go read "Something Like an Autobiography". That's a lovely book-I've re-read it recently and felt quite close to Kurosawa as a human being...the book is quite intimate, and I am surprised at how willing Kurosawa is to criticize himself and display his less brilliant moments. I'm afraid to use the word "honest"-since Kurosawa insists we all fabricate. But, it FEELS very honest. It's just too darned bad that there is not a comparable book about Mifune!

It was a gift for my groomsman, a man who rates Kurosawa and Mifune the greatest cinematic pairing EVER, he was pleased by the gift, a book he never thought he could get his hands on.

Does not tell us anything about Kurosawa and Mifune the men
2003年6月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is a filmography, not a biography. This book focuses almost entirely on Kurosawa's and Mifune's films, giving almost no insight into what their lives were like, or what they were like as people. The first half of this 800-page book is an interminable series of synopses of their early works -- films of significance today only as harbingers of much greater things to come. (Particularly annoying is the author's endless quoting of contemporary reviews from "Variety.") The second half still focuses primarily on the films and the minutiae of their production, but provides some substance about K&M's personal lives. However, it is not nearly enough to get a clear picture of Mifune and Kurosawa as real-life people. We, the readers, always feel like fans still observing the two legends from a distance, learning almost nothing of their personal lives. For instance, barely half a page is spent on Mifune's wedding, and essentially nothing is written about his wife, Sachiko.
In addition, although this is a dual biography-the justification being that Mifune and Kurosawa did their best work together-Mr. Galbraith fails to convey what kind of relationship, whether personal or professional, the two had. Rather, the book's focus alternates from one to the other between chapters. A glaring omission in this regard is a failure to examine their famous falling out. The overly cautious author only hints that it was due to Mifune's reluctance to be tied down by the perfectionist director's lengthy shoots ("Red Beard," their last film together, took 2 years to film), that Mifune, once he gained fame, preferred quick, easy-money projects to support his luxurious lifestyle. However, almost no anecdotes are given to illustrate this or any other aspect of their relationship.
In summary, the definitive English-language biographies of Mifune and Kurosawa have yet to be written.

The subtitle of this book, The Lives and Films of Akira Kurosawa, is completely deceitful. There is nothing biographical in this book about either one of its main protagonists. It is rather a chronicle of the Japanese film industry, not without interest in itself. However, the voluminous facts, tid-bits of information about every minor actor, director, script-writer, and film composer, as well as the synopsis of every film mentioned, makes for increbibly tedious reading. While the book has its merit as a source of information, not much credit should be given to the author other than for his ability to put together facts that are available from a number of sources. Meanwhile, reading all these capsules of data will leave you dry when it comes to the lives of Kurosawa and Mifune. The author tells us nothing about how they lived, felt, thought, behaved,what motivated them; probably because he doesn't know himself. A simple gathering of public facts, none researched by the author himself because their sources are many and widely available, especially on the internet, do not make for a worthy book!
