Understanding this quote
The speaker points to a side of Japanese cinema that is unfamiliar to the people being addressed. They describe it as especially striking, comparing its impact with the “explosion of Italian cinema in 1945.” “Explosion” is figurative here: it suggests a sudden, powerful expansion or flourishing of cinema, not a literal blast.
