An interview with Donald Richie on FORA.tv, from Berkeley Arts & Letters: For those who have endeavored to study Japanese cinema or culture, it is highly likely you have encountered the work of writer Donald Richie. This interview offers a look into the historical context in which Richie emerged, when there was little critical scholarship in Japanese film, especially from a Western perspective.
