The Sword of Doom: Endless Violence in the Samurai Film
Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon wasn't a big hit when it was released in Japan, but when it won a Golden Lion at the 1951 Venice Film Festival it opened the floodgates for Japanese cinema into the cinemas and film festivals of the west. No less than Ed Sullivan wrote that "the direction, the photography and the performances will jar open your eyes," and within a year films by Mizoguchi and Ozu joined Fellini, Bergman and Rossellini in the art houses. It took barely ten years from Hiroshima and Nagasaki and VJ Day for Japan to go from vicious, possibly subhuman enemy to a culture worth studying and admiring.

A Clubman's Notes
Just Wonderful!
The Mark Steyn Club is celebrating its seventh birthday this month, and we thank all our old friends from May 2017 who've decided to hop on board for our eighth year. Ray, a First Week Founding Member from Oregon, writes: I feel honored to be an early member of The Mark Steyn Club and to play a small part in supporting you in both the political & entertainment spheres of your life. Tales For Our Time has brought me the greatest pleasure and I love the musical write-ups and poetry as well. Thank you for standing up to the tyrannical, self-righteous liars who are in authority. I enthusiastically renew my membership. Thank you, Ray. On the other hand, much as we cherish the old-timers, we're thrilled that, after all this time, we're still ...
