is a Japanese film director, screenwriter, film critic and a professor at Tokyo University of the Arts. He is best known for his many contributions to the Japanese horror genre. ==Biography== Born in Kobe on July 19, 1955, Kiyoshi Kurosawa is not related to director Akira Kurosawa. After studying at Rikkyo University in Tokyo under the guidance of prominent film critic Shigehiko Hasumi, where he began making 8mm films, Kurosawa began directing commercially in the 1980s, working on pink films and low-budget V-Cinema (direct-to-video) productions such as formula yakuza films. In the early 1990s, Kurosawa won a scholarship to the Sundance Institute and was able to study filmmaking in the United States, although he had been directing for nearly ten years professionally. Kurosawa first achieved international acclaim with his 1997 crime thriller film ''Cure''. Also that year, he experimented by filming two thrillers back-to-back, ''Serpent's Path'' and ''Eyes of the Spider'', both of which shared the same premise (a father taking revenge for his child's murder) and lead actor (Show Aikawa) but spun entirely different stories. Kurosawa followed up ''Cure'' with a semi-sequel in 1999 with ''Charisma'', a detective film starring Koji Yakusho.〔 In 2000, ''Seance'', Kurosawa's adaptation of the novel ''Seance on a Wet Afternoon'' by Mark McShane, premiered on Kansai TV. It also starred Yakusho, as well as Jun Fubuki (the two had appeared together in ''Charisma'' as well). In 2001, he directed the horror film ''Pulse''. Kurosawa released ''Bright Future'', starring Tadanobu Asano, Joe Odagiri and Tatsuya Fuji, in 2003. He followed this with another digital feature, ''Doppelganger'', later the same year. In 2005, Kurosawa returned with ''Loft'', his first love story since ''Seance''. Another horror film, ''Retribution'', followed in the next year. With his 2008 film, ''Tokyo Sonata'', Kurosawa was considered to step "out of his usual horror genre and into family drama." He has written a novelization of his own film ''Pulse'', as well as a history of horror cinema with Makoto Shinozaki. In September 2012, it was announced that he will direct ''1905'', a film starring Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Shota Matsuda and Atsuko Maeda. In February 2013, it was announced that production of the film had been cancelled before filming could start. Kurosawa directed a 2012 five-part television drama ''Penance''. ''Beautiful 2013'', an anthology film featuring Kurosawa's ''Beautiful New Bay Area Project'', screened at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in 2013. Kurosawa's next feature film ''Real'', which stars Takeru Sato and Haruka Ayase, was released in 2013. He won the Best Director award at the 8th Rome Film Festival for ''Seventh Code'' later that year. His 2015 film ''Journey to the Shore'' was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival where he won the prize for Best Director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2015 Official Selection )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiyoshi Kurosawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
