Celebrating Japanese Cinema. Hugely influential thriller

Cited by Quentin Tarantino as his favourite film of all time and considered an inspiration to The Hunger Games series. Battle Royale sees a class of school children kidnapped and forced to participate in a fight to the death. Loyalties will be tested, alliances broken as there can only be one winner.

Celebrating Japanese Cinema
