Seijun Suzuki

Died in 2017

Suzuki Seitarō, known as Seijun Suzuki, was born on 24 May 1923 in Tokyo. Mobilised during the war, he passed through the Philippines and Taiwan. Having joined Shōchiku as an assistant, he moved to Nikkatsu in 1954 and from 1956 directed many commissioned films there, in which he imposed an aesthetic of his own. Dismissed after this film, he spent about ten years without shooting, returned with a trilogy acclaimed in the early eighties, and died on 13 February 2017.
