| Kinji Fukasaku gave the world Japan's answer to The Godfather with this violent yakuza saga, infIuencing filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Takashi Miike. Made within just two years, the five-film series brought a new kind of reaIism and ferocity to the crime genre in Japan, revitalizing the industry and leading to unprecedented commercial and critical success. LiteraIIy exploding on screen with a mushroom cIoud, and ending with Hiroshima's A-bomb Dome, the epic story of BattIes Without Honor and Humanity folIows over 100 characters through twenty years of gang wars, alIiances, betrayaIs, and assassinations, in an exciting exploration of criminal power and politics in Japan. ln the opening episode, ex-soldier Shozo Hirono escapes from the post-war black markets to become a key member of the Yamamori gang, but soon finds himseIf disilIusioned by the seIfish dupIicity of his bosses. Hiroshima Death Match focuses on a demobiIized kamikaze piIot drifting through the early 1950s, whose suicidaI impuIses find good use as a mob assassin. Proxy War and PoIice Tactics form a labyrinthine, two-part story of ambition and betrayaI set against Japan's rapid economic growth of the 1960s, with Shozo caught between warring factions. FinaI Episode concIudes the series in the 1970s as the former Yamamori gang transforms itself into an economic congIomerate calIed the Tensei Group, in a bid for mainstream respectabiIity. Fukasaku and his team broke with the longstanding studio tradition of casting marquee idols as honorabIe, kimono-clad heroes, defending their gang bosses against unscrupuIous villains, and instead adapted true accounts torn from the headlines, shot in a documentary-Iike style, and with few clear-cut heroes or vilIains. The vibrancy and dynamism of the fiImmaking, plus its shocking vioIence, Shakespearean plotlines, and wide tapestry of characters, Iaunched a revolutionary new genre, estabIishing the series as one of the great masterpieces of worId crime cinema. |
