Director : Kini Fukasaku
Running Time : 109 mins
Following a mass exodus of students from schools all over the country, a law has been passed in Japan meaning that one class is picked each year to take part in Battle Royale, a fight to the death forced upon the students by stranding them on a deserted island with nothing to help them survive but their wits a bag containing a random weapon.
Arguably the most famous Japanese film of all time, Battle Royale is an excellent example of how to portray multiple characters in a battle situation. Every person in this film has their own unique personality and manages to get at least a little bit of screen time to express themselves. In spite of the ultra-violent nature of the film, this manages to remain quietly humorous from beginning to end, and is an interesting parable about how the youth of today have little or no respect for authority.
