Masamichi Amano

"At the dawn of the Millenium, the nation collapsed. At 15% unemployment, 10 million were out of work, 800,000 students boycotted school. The adults lost confidence, and fearing the youth, eventually passed the 'Millenium Educational Reform Act'...AKA: The BR Act." - opening graphics introduction to Battle Royale Easily one of the most provocative and disturbing films to come out of Japan (until Suicide Club was released in 2002) and a contemporary cult favorite.
