Celebrate the 25th anniversary of visionary director Kinji Fukasaku’s, Battle Royale (2000). This special screening is presented in 4K along with a new interview with the screenwriter — Kinji’s son Kenta — sharing an intimate look at the forces that shaped his father and how they inspired his final film.In a near-future Japan, the government responds to rising youth delinquency by enacting the “Battle Royale Act,” forcing a randomly selected high school class into a deadly game of survival. Sent to a remote island, forty-two students are fitted with explosive collars and ordered to fight until only one remains alive. As alliances form and betrayals unfold, classmates grapple with fear, loyalty, and violence in a chilling examination of human nature under extreme pressure. Brutal, satirical, and deeply unsettling, Battle Royale is a landmark of modern Japanese cinema and a stark critique of authoritarian control and generational conflict.
