Takeshi Kitano
Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo" Two Beat", before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country.
After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's" Violent Cop" and garnered international acclaim for" Sonatine"( 1993).
He was not widely accepted as an accomplished director in Japan until" Hana -bi" won the Golden Lion in 1997.
In October 2017, Kitano completed his" Outrage" crime trilogy with the release of" Outrage Coda".
He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him" the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.
Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police.
Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near- stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event.
Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters.
