Review of Takeshis' (2005) by Joe L — 25 Jun 2008
It's so weird! The movie takes the approach of being all about the surreal visuals rather than a concrete story. The movie felt much like a dream as it was filled with random scenes of weirdness violence and humour as can be found in all of Takeshi's films.
The idea was also very interesting of Kitano playing himself the superstar and a lowly convenience store clerk who wishes to become him. It's very hard to tell what is in reality and not past about the first 15 minutes, but it's ok.
The director himself even claimed it was a film not to be completely understood just watched. Many people will hate it, but for those who have seen and understood the crazy mind of Beat Takeshi it's wonderful homage to one of the coolest funny actor/director/writer in Japan.
