Koreyoshi Kurahara
DirectingBorn May 31, 1927 · Kuching, Sarawak, MalaysiaDied December 28, 2002
Over the course of his varied career, Koreyoshi Kurahara made meticulous noirs, jazzy juvenile-delinquency pictures, and even nature films. His free-form approach to moviemaking was perfectly suited to the radical spirit of the 1960s, when he was one of the biggest hit makers working at the razzle-dazzle, youth-oriented Nikkatsu studios.
