Another great (Beat) Takeshi Kitano film, again written, directed, edited by and starring the Japanese auteur. When a group of Yakuza are sent to Okinawa they end up with some free time on their hands. What do Yakuza do when they get bored? Not what you’d expect. Violence and absurd hilarity trade places in some typically Kitano moments and the emotional heart of the film surfaces and hits hard. It’s not a comedy, don’t misunderstand, but there are some piss-inducing funny moments. Music is again by Joe Hisaishi.
