HANA-BI: FLORES DE FUEGO
TAKESHI KITANO (BEAT TAKESHI) Japón, 1997
Who’d have expected a Japanese TV host and comedian to turn to such poignant filmmaking? Winner of the Golden Lion, Fireworks has proven to be one of Takeshi Kitano’s best films: a masterpiece of sublime simplicity and staccato force, combating unsparing violence with bare sentimentality.
