This article is a review of a book written by Mitsuyo Wada Marciano – Japanese Cinema in the
Digital Age. The author of this book examines the recent developments in the Japanese film industry
at the turning point in the development of digital technologies. The book seeks to overcome
the western approach to the subject, reinterprets classic films and explores new trends in transnational
Japanese cinema (the term was proposed by the author to explain the situation of Japanese
films in the context of Asian countries).
