I became a Takeshi fan by pure accident less than a year ago when I saw Sonatine and Zatoichi. Now I have all his films on DVD. If I were younger I'd take up learning Japanese so I could enjoy his films in their original state.

Kitano is a genius. The greatest living filmmaker (and a pretty good writer, the funniest Japanese comedian, a former talented semi-pro baseball player and a great tap dancer, among other things.)

I practically worship the man. He is one of a kind.
