Connection
Kirio Urayama is a Director, Scriptwriter and Assistant Director Japonais born on 4 december 1930 at Hyōgo Prefecture (Japon)
Kirio Urayama (浦山 桐郎, Urayama Kirio, 14 December 1930 – 20 October 1985) was a Japanese film director and screenwriter.
Dans les années 1970, il réalise trois films dont La Porte de la jeunesse, son plus grand succès, qui est l'adaptation d'un roman populaire sur les mineurs de fond. Il revient finalement à la Nikkatsu en 1983, afin de réaliser La Chambre noire pour les 70 ans des studios, mais son film ne remporte que peu de succès.
Bien que méconnu, en raison d'une filmographie relativement faible, Kirio Urayama est un réalisateur majeur de la Nouvelle vague japonaise, à laquelle il a apporté une vision différente des autres réalisateurs, s'attachant à décrire les défavorisés plutôt que la jeunesse excitée de son époque.
Il a réalisé neuf films et est l'auteur de dix scénarios entre 1956 et 1985.
