What's it about?
In the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.
Why did we pick it?
Equal parts dark dystopian horror and laugh out loud satire, it uses its shocking premise to pull you in and disturb but subvert your expectations holding a mirror up to how ridiculous it is, going full circle in its self-awareness.

Battle Royale is directed by Kinji Fukasaku and written by Koushun Takami & Kenta Fukasaku.
Who's in it?
Starring Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda & Takeshi Kitano.
