Battle Royale 25 th Anniversary
Screens Oct. 12-13 and 15 (in Japanese with English subtitles)
Battle Royale is an intense and brutal story about Japanese high school students who are sent off by their government with three days to kill each other — until only one remains. With its blend of social commentary and high-stakes action, Battle Royale continues to influence modern dystopian storytelling and has inspired countless television shows, video games, and films.
An insightful bonus interview with Battle Royale screenwriter Kenta Fukasaku will complement each screening with an intimate look at the forces that shaped the directorial career of his father Kinji Fukasaku, and how they inspired his landmark final movie. In Kinji Fukasaku: A Master At Work, Kenta grants unparalleled access to his father’s history and unique directing approach on the film and reveals how Kinji’s experience in a Japanese munitions factory during World War II informed Kenta’s screenplay, how the 1970’s protest movement inspired the onscreen violence and how a Japanese youth crime wave at the time played a role in creating the concept and characters. Interview is in Japanese with English subtitles.
