Hisayasu SatÅ , sometimes misread as Toshiyasu SatÅ , (ä½ è—¤ å¯¿ä¿ ,
SatÅ Hisayasu, born 15 August 1959 in Shizuoka City, Japan) is a
Japanese exploitation film director. He has worked prolifically in the
genre of pinku eiga films, which refers to Japanese films that
prominently feature nudity or sexual content. His best-known works are
the 1992 pink film The Bedroom and the 1996 V-Cinema splatter film
Splatter: Naked Blood. He is known for his "sledgehammer" filmmaking
style, and using his exploitation career to tackle serious subjects
like obsession, alienation, perversion and voyeurism.He has been
likened to Canadian director David Cronenberg due to his penchant for
body horror. Along with fellow directors Kazuhiro Sano, Toshiki SatÅ
and Takahisa Zeze, he is known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of
Pink"(ãƒ"ンク四天王, pinku shitenno).SatÅ is a very prolific
director, having directed about two dozen films in 1998 and 1999. To
date, he has directed more than fifty films dealing with eroticism,
sadism, and horror among the lower classes of Japan. He is famous for
his "guerilla shooting technique" in which his actors appear on
location in public and incorporate unknowing bystanders into the film.
One notorious example of this technique can be seen in Widow's
Perverted Hell (1991) in which the lead actress, nude and bound in S&M
gear, appears in a busy downtown location and begs confused passers-by
to help her masturbate. Allmovie comments, "Like Divine's memorable
strut through the streets of Baltimore in Pink Flamingos, this scene
was shot guerrilla-style, with no planning, and some of the reactions
from unsuspecting pedestrians are priceless. Intended as a dark
meditation on the unhinging effects of grief, the mondo aspects of its
climactic scene makes the rather lackluster Mibojin Hentai Jigoku
worth seeing."
