    Kinji Fukasaku

    Japanese film director and screenwriter (1930–2003)

    Kinji Fukasaku (Japanese: 深作 欣二, Hepburn: Fukasaku Kinji, 3 July 1930 – 12 January 2003) was a Japanese film director and screenwriter.

    Known for his "broad range and innovative filmmaking",[1] Fukasaku worked in many different genres and styles, but was best known for his gritty yakuza films, typified by the Battles Without Honor and Humanity series (1973–1976).

    According to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, "his turbulent energy and at times extreme violence express a cynical critique of social conditions and genuine sympathy for those left out of Japan's postwar prosperity."[2] He used a cinema verite-inspired shaky camera technique in many of his films from the early 1970s.[3][4]

    Fukasaku wrote and directed over 60 films between 1961 and 2003.

    Some Western sources have associated him with the Japanese New Wave movement of the '60s and '70s,
