FILM COMMENT Jan-Feb 1992
(Seijun Suzuki, Orson Welles)
FILM COMMENT January-February 1992. Near Fine, magazine. Wim Wenders contributes an essay on his love of horror cinema. Other essays and reviews on Frank Capra, the "lost and found" films of Orson Welles (Fountain of Youth discovered, Othello restored), Blade Runner, West Virginia filmmaker Danny Boyd, long interview with Warren Beatty, and much more, including notably an essay on Japanese "fractured pop-art yakuza thrillers of the 1960s" on director Seijun Suzuki.
Price: $8.50
Note: A lifelong hard-core film fan is a little reluctantly parting with the majority of her thirty-plus year accumulation of Asian film fanzines -- specialized magazines that looked at kaiju (Japanese monster films), samurai films, Bruce Lee and chop-sockies, "pinky violence" and yakuza films, and suchlike. These are exceedingly rare items and we're listing them individually. Most of these journals value in the $15 to $35 range, a few are worth more. Many are so rare none have been offered at any price for a decade.
There were many titles of which probably only Japanese Fantasy Film Journal ever gained wide enough circulation (after issue #11) to acquire lasting fame. The others remained extremely short-run and were seen by a few subscribers and no one else. These included The Jade Screen, Japanese Giants, Monsters of Japan, and Fangraphic. They were issued mostly from the 1970s, all published for love of the films without commercial purpose. Such journals began to appear in the late '60s but then about 1972/3 a fad for Bruce Lee and for samurai films reached a crescendo sparking a considerable fandom.
