Episode 11: A Tricky Set of Layers (January, 2014): Music in Kurosawa; Report on SCMS Scholarly Interest Groups
This month we bring you a very cool interview with Michael W. Harris about music in Akira Kurosawa's Drunken Angel, which gets into all kinds of themes: postwar censorship, the meanings of Jazz and American culture in Japanese cinema, and the relationship between filmmakers and scholars. Then Chris takes a closer look at Scholarly Interest Groups within SCMS: what are they, what are they good for, and why would you want to be in one? Finally, Chris and Michael talk about the film and television they have been watching, for better and worse.
