The Profile

Kinji Fukasaku (1930–2003) was a Japanese film director known for gritty, often violent films including yakuza pictures and the controversial cult hit Battle Royale (2000).

He is known for a rough, documentary-like visual style, handheld camera work, social critique in his films, and a career spanning postwar Japan into the early 2000s.

Two DeBaser reviews cover Kinji Fukasaku's range: a positive take on his apocalyptic sci-fi Fukkatsu no hi and a critical appraisal of The Geisha House's portrayal of geisha. The reviews note production scale, Cold War themes, and cultural inaccuracies.
