Donald Richie grew up in Ohio during the 1930's where he came to prefer the reality of the cinema. When he moved to Japan, he learned the culture by going to the movies. Now he’s the foremost Western expert on Japanese cinema and the author of “A Hundred Years of Japanese Film.”  Richie talks with Steve Paulson about the great Japanese directors, and we hear clips from their work.
