About this person

Masahiro Shinoda was a Japanese film director, whose career spanned over four decades and covered a wide range of genres and styles.

His film style was characterized by socially marginalized characters, many of whom turn to crime or suicide, and meticulous attention to pictorial beauty. He drew on traditional Japanese fiction and theater and some of his films bear the influence of Kenji Mizoguchi, whom he admired.
