That Man Is Dangerous: The Birth of Takeshi Kitano

About This Movie

That Man Is Dangerous dives into the gritty beginnings of Takeshi Kitano's directorial journey. It's got this raw, no-frills vibe as Makoto Ashikawa and producer Masayuki Mori pull back the curtain on 'Violent Cop'. The doc lingers on those awkward, candid moments that showcase Kitano's unique approach to storytelling. You really get a feel for the atmosphere of the time, and how Kitano's vision clashed with conventional norms. The pacing is laid back, almost meditative, which might seem odd for a film about a cop flick, but it reflects Kitano's own distinct rhythm. A must-see for anyone into the behind-the-scenes grind of filmmaking in Japan during that era.
