Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) Review
Foundational dual-perspective Pearl Harbor film. Equal substantive treatment of American and Japanese forces.
Director: Kinji Fukasaku
Kinji Fukasaku directed Battle Royale at seventy and the Battles Without Honor and Humanity series, which reshaped the Japanese gangster film. He had been a teenager conscripted into wartime factory labour, which he connected directly to Battle Royale’s premise.
