One of the most prominent figures of Japanese cinema is the most talented director and screenwriter Takeshi "Bit" Kitano. He was born on January 18, 1947 in Tokyo. Takeshi Kitano received his nickname "Bit" from the name of the comic duo "Two bits", which was the beginning of his creative career. His extraordinary comic talent was highly appreciated by the audience and allowed him to become one of the most popular comedians.
That is why it is surprising that most of his films are violent psychological dramas, saturated with black humor. First jobs
"Cruel policeman" .
"Boiling Point" They are distinguished by frightening naturalism and cruelty, and the film that brought him world fame
"Sonatina" It plunges the viewer into the bloody abyss of mafia wars.
The most striking directorial technique Takeshi Kitano is to create a striking contrast between the beauty and serenity of the surrounding world and the cruelty of events taking place against its background. This technique was first used in the films "Sonatina" and
"Fireworks" .
Takeshi Kitano’s amazing ability to recognize the dark side of life and fearlessly bring it to the court of the audience is amazing. At the same time, his paintings cannot be called simply “bloody action films”, because in each frame there is a great director’s idea and the deepest philosophical subtext. /
