About the productJapanese

This is the long-awaited first book by film critic Ogino Yoichi, who was described by film director Aoyama Shinji as "a rare and brilliant writer."

Film is the only art form that can show one image of hope without being noticed after showing a thousand images of despair.
In addition to 65 carefully selected works from his critical career spanning more than 30 years, the book also includes his top ten works from 2011 to 2023.
An impressive 630 pages!!
