Portrait of Koreyoshi Kurahara

Koreyoshi Kurahara

Bio: 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
Born: Tue, May 31 1927
Birthplace: Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia
