Blood and Bones (Kitano)

Varietyn arvion mukaan liian rankka ja vaikea. "As the miserly slave driver cum alcoholic rapist, Kitano blows almost everybody else off the screen, chewing the scenery with the same relish as his character eats maggot-ridden meat as a form of self-discipline."

Blood and Bones premiered at the 9th Pusan International Film Festival and will open in Japan on November 6th. It is the latest film from director Yoichi Sai (Quill) and Kitano Beat Takeshi. Blood and Bones is based on the novel by Yan Sogiru, Chi to Hone. The film chronicles the life of the author's father, Shunpei, who was part of the 1st generation of Koreans to live in Japan. Kitano is perfectly cast as Shunpei, a violent man, who works at a fish factory in Osaka. He's a man consumed by hate, fueled by his hard drinking ways. When the fish factory closes, he becomes a loan shark. Blood and Bones is set during World War II and the post-war years of Japan.
