Tadao Sato
Tadao Sato (佐藤 忠男, Satō Tadao, born October 6, 1930 in Niigata, Niigata) is a Japanese film critic and film theorist. Sato has published more than a hundred books on film, and is one of the foremost scholars and historians addressing Japanese film, although little of his work has been translated for publication abroad.[1] He has also written books on Chinese and Korean films.
The international awareness of Sato's scholarship can attributed to a collection of selected essays, Currents In Japanese Cinema, published internationally in 1982. His Kenji Mizoguchi and the Art of Japanese Cinema was published in Japanese in 1982 and translated in 2008.[2] Sato has also frequently appeared as a primary source in the writing of other Japanese film historians, notably Donald Richie[3] and Joan Mellen.[4]
