Biographie et filmographie

Shōhei Imamura

Shōhei Imamura, né le 15 septembre 1926 à Tokyo et mort le 30 mai 2006, est un réalisateur, scénariste et producteur japonais. Après des études à l’université Waseda, il entre aux studios Shōchiku, où il travaille notamment comme assistant de Yasujirō Ozu, avant de rejoindre la Nikkatsu et de passer à la réalisation à la fin des années 1950.

Figure de la Nouvelle Vague japonaise, il se fait connaître avec Cochons et Cuirassés (1961), La Femme insecte (1963), Le Pornographe (1966) et Profonds Désirs des dieux (1968). Son œuvre s’intéresse particulièrement aux milieux populaires et aux marginaux de la société japonaise.

Il remporte la Palme d’or au Festival de Cannes pour La Ballade de Narayama en 1983, puis une seconde fois pour L’Anguille en 1997, devenant l’un des rares cinéastes à avoir reçu deux fois cette récompense.
