Description: This book offers a timely look at the cinematic adaptations of Japanese writer Murakami Haruki's fiction over the past forty years. These films demonstrate the way adaptations are fundamentally creative works that say something new about the different cultural contexts in which they appear.
Review Quotes: Murakami on Film does a remarkable job at being both accessible and informative. . . Yamada . . . Provides a useful primer for anyone wanting to go deeper into the theory of literary adaptation and, more specifically, into the cinematic adaptations of Murakami that continue to expand the author's oeuvre in unpredictable but rewarding ways.--Christopher Corker "Asian Review of Books"
