Biography

film director

Seijun Suzuki

Suzuki Seijun (Tokyo, Japan, 1923) studied cinema at the Academy of Kamakura and began working as assistant director. He debuted in 1956 and became famous for his innovative and parodical "yakuza" films. After Branded to Kill (1967) he was thrown out of the production house he was working for, Nikkatsu, and began directing films again only in 1977, even if he made his grand return to cinema with Zigeunerweisen (1980), which bears witness to exceptional artistic talent in Japanese cinema. In 1991 he won in Berlin with Yumeji (1991) and his film Pistol Opera participated in Venice in 2001.
