Chūsei Sone (曽根 中生, Sone Chūsei, born October 1, 1937) is a Japanese film director known primarily for his stylish and popular Roman Porno films for Nikkatsu, particularly the first two installments of the Angel Guts series. Despite a somewhat uneven career, many mainstream critics consider Sone the best of Nikkatsu's Roman Porno directors.

Biography

Chūsei Sone fait ses études à l'université du Tōhoku. Il entre en 1962 à la Nikkatsu où il travaille comme scénariste sur La Marque du tueur de Seijun Suzuki.

En 1971 il bénéficie de la nouvelle orientation du studio vers le cinéma érotique (roman-porno) pour faire ses débuts de réalisateur où il excelle dans l'art de la mise en scène avec des sujets parfois comiques. Il développe par la suite un style plus « naturaliste » basé autour de la technique du plan-séquence. Vers 1973, ses ressorts plastiques s'affirment alors que s'achemine un discours de plus en plus ironique sur son pays d'origine.

Son retrait soudain du monde cinématographique à la fin des années 1980 le fait progressivement tomber dans l'oubli, au terme d'une copieuse carrière parsemée de chefs-d'œuvre comme Yoru wo buttobase (夜をぶっとばせ).
Il a notamment formé Shinji Sōmai à la réalisation lors du passage de ce dernier à la Nikkatsu entre 1972 et 1976.
