Takeshi Kitano’s take on one of the longest running series in Japanese TV and films. It’s a crazy movie. Comic. Sentimental. Extremely violent and very moving. By the final dance number you know you’ve been on a most unlikely journey. I love Beat Kitano’s deadpan humor and painterly compositions and subtle intensity. And the blind samurai is a fascinating character. But be forewarned. It’s a crazy movie. More Baddaboom reviews: http://web.me.com/paddybon/Site/My_favorite_flicks.html
