Yoshimitsu Morita
1950-01-25 · Chigasaki, Kanagawa, Japan
Yoshimitsu Morita was a Japanese film director. Self-taught, first making shorts on 8 mm film during the 1970s, he made his feature film debut with No Yōna Mono (Something Like It, 1981).
In 1983 he won acclaim for his movie Kazoku Gēmu ("The Family Game"), which was voted the best film of the year by Japanese critics in the Kinema Junpo magazine poll. This black comedy dealt with then-recent changes in the structure of Japanese home life. It also earned Morita the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award. He also won the award for best director at the 21st Yokohama Film Festival for 39 keihō dai sanjūkyū jō ("Keiho", 2003) and the award for best screenplay at the 18th Yokohama Film Festival for Haru (1996).
