MCT:June 26, 2008It'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.

MCT:April 16, 2008Kitano tries to be surrealistic and fails...badly. This is a stupid, meandering film which is utterly boring and pointless; it's just Kitano riffing on Kitano in a self-referential and obvious fashion. The only area this film succeeds in is leaving the viewer, as Kitano intended, dazed and confused.

MCT:October 21, 2007The strangest Kitano I've seen. As always, this has random bursts of stylish violence. It's like a ride thru Kitano's mind:looks cool, but never makes much sense.

Takeshi Kitano has become a legend for his many violent roles.This is a different double role, yet still interesting in a Kitano way.

Really hard to describe but I found it compelling simply because Takeshi is always so interesting to watch on film. Seems more like a personal exploration by the film maker than something attempting a coherent plot. Not exactly the first film in Takeshi's library that I'd recommend but worth watching after seeing some of his more accessible films.
