Shomin-geki (庶民劇?) is a pseudo-Japanese word invented by Western film scholars.[1] It describes a genre of realist film and television or theater plays in Japan which focuses on the lives of common working class people.
gendai-geki (modern dramas), and, the lesser known, shomin-geki (films mainly portraying the daily life of the lower-middle class). After the war, the United States occupied Japan, outlawing any film that seemed to possess nationalistic rhetoric, thus the jidai-geki, seen as supporting the feudal system and celebrating Japanese historical events, were made illegal.
But stories like Chushingura would not have been assimilable to an outside culture, let alone the System that Solanas and Gitano mention. And the jidai-geki made up close to half of the feature films in Japan from 1910 onwards![11] The very structure of Japanese Cinema, from its origination, prohibited its cooptation and cultural dilution. By utilizing their history and cultural signifiers within the cinematic texts, they not only denied the System but also outright thumbed their nose at it.
Gendai geki films usually refer to motion pictures with the setting taking place during the same era of the making of the film, while jidai-geki films are set during the Tokugawa era, which is between the 1600s and ends in the Meiji Restoration (1868).
After the Kanto earthquake the Shochiku studio encouraged Japanese directors to use continuous editing like Americans for use in shomin-geki films, dramas and comedies about lower and middle class families. Piecemeal decoupage (cutting) was adapted throughout the 1930s and even used for decorative purposes by Naruse in Kagirinaki hodo. It uses scene dissection to the extreme and the average length of a shot is less than four seconds.
