. . . "Sadao Yamanaka(\u5C71\u4E2D \u8C9E\u96C4Yamanaka Sadao, November 7, 1909\u2014September 17, 1938) was a Japanese film director and writer who directed 24 films during a seven-year period in the 1930s. He was a contemporary of Yasujir\u014D Ozu, Mikio Naruse and Kenji Mizoguchi and one of the primary figures in the development of the jidaigeki, or historical film. Yamanaka died of dysentary in Manchuria after being drafted into the Imperial Japanese Army. He is the uncle of the Japanese film director Tai Kato, who once penned a book about Yamanaka, Eiga kantoku Yamanaka Sadao. Only three of his films survive in nearly complete form. While long considered a master filmmaker in his native Japan, interest in Yamanaka's work redeveloped after the recent restoration and Japanese DVD release of the three surviving films. His most internationally discussed film, Humanity and Paper Balloons (1937), was given its first non-Japanese DVD release in the UK as a Masters of Cinema release."@en . . "146850"^^ . . . . .
