![]() ![]() It’s a slim but essential volume jampacked with information about Kaji and the Japanese film industry that made her a star. His latest offering is the first English language book focusing on the career of the beloved Japanese actress and recording artist, Meiko Kaji. He’s also written or co-authored a number of books about Japanese cinema including Agitator: The Cinema of Takashi Miike and Iron Man: The Cinema of Shinya Tsukamoto. Mes was one of the founders and editors of the highly influential and much missed Midnight Eye website. If you appreciate Japanese cinema you’ve undoubtedly encountered the work of Tom Mes. Unchained Melody: The Films of Meiko Kaji by Tom Mes My picks include a variety of reading material for all budgets and tastes including many titles that are closely linked to films currently streaming on FilmStruck. With the holidays fast approaching I thought I would recommend an eclectic selection of my favorite film books released in 2017 in case you’re looking for gifts to please the cinephiles in your life. ![]() Favorite Film Books of 2017 by Kimberly Lindbergs ![]()
