description: "Kinji Fukasaku  was a Japanese filmmaker. Known for his \"broad range and innovative filmmaking\", he worked in many different genres and styles, but was best known for his gritty yakuza films, typified by the Battles Without Honor and Humanity series (1973–1976). According to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, his \"turbulent energy and at times extreme violence express a cynical critique of social conditions and genuine sympathy for those left out of Japan's postwar prosperity\". He used a cinema verite-inspired shaky camera technique in many of his films from the early 1970s."
