Review of Takeshis' (2005) by Vaibhav W — 30 Nov 2007
After his most mainstream success in the wonderful Zatoichi it seems that Mr. Takeshi was wanting to reaffirm his status as an auteur with his least most accessible film yet. And I'm glad he has. Takeshis' is a surreal, surreal film with many of the staple elements of his films but at the same time much more of a departure.
While the film is closer in its peculiarity and tone to his comedy work than his yakuza films, Mr. Takeshi manages to play on the border of his comfort zone, rather than outright step out of it. While certainly not his most enjoyable film, Takeshis' has guaranteed its place as an important piece in Kitano Takeshi AND Beat Takeshi's work.
