What makes a Kunihiko Yuyama film a Kunihiko Yuyama film

Across 19 films, they run much more violence, much less intimacy and somewhat more tension than films in general. Their films resemble each other far more than any 19 films picked at random would, which is what makes one recognisable before anybody says who directed it.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
