Seijun Suzuki

Seijun Suzuki, de son vrai nom Seitarō Suzuki, né le 24 mai 1923 à Tōkyō et mort le 13 février 2017 dans la même ville, est un réalisateur japonais.Réalisateur prolifique, (une quarantaine de longs métrages, la plupart pour la Nikkatsu) Il, s’est surtout illustré dans le cinéma de genre.Réalisateur d’un studio et donc considéré comme salarié, il devait suivre les consignes stricte, qui visaient avant tout la rentabilité économique plutôt que la qualité artistique ou éthique. Même s’il appréciait les classiques du cinéma japonais, il restait à l’écart de la Nouvelle Vague, qui critiquait ouvertement les modes de production.Malgré ces contraintes, l’œuvre de Suzuki se distingue par une inventivité formelle et une efficacité narrative remarquables, offrant une beauté et une richesse surprenantes. Il intègre la société en 1954, réalise son premier long métrage en 1956, puis est congédié en 1968 à la suite de la diffusion de La marque du tueur, jugée trop obscure et abstraite par la direction.
