I'm glad that you mentioned it, there seems to be no love for anime (except for the mention on Akira, which although important I really didn't care for).Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-70109573151688506732008-01-06T02:49:00.000-05:002008-01-06T02:49:00.000-05:00Why, so they have.

Must have been looking at the wrong index. <BR/><BR/>Fruit Chan, then (who I much prefer to Wong Kar Wai); Ringo Lam (though his colleagues Tsui Hark and John Woo are mentioned); Kim Ki-Duk (and if he didn't make it, then why fellow shockmeisters like Lars Von Treir and Gaspar Noe?). Even the Farrelly brothers go where Kieslowski fails to tread. <BR/><BR/>And animation is almost a non-genre: Chuck Jones is here, but not Hayao Miyazaki, or Taiji Yabushita, or Jan Svankmajer, or Max Fleischer, or Lotte Reiniger. A little black book 2 might correct that, who knows...?Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-17284065898291478412008-01-05T21:03:00.000-05:002008-01-05T21:03:00.000-05:00Minnelli, Preminger and Ulmer hava entries Noel.

Other than that, it's a great book.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.com
