Question: Are the directors of both films You'Re On Your Own and Kikujiro from the same country?

Matt Corboy( born June 4, 1973) is an American actor. He has appeared in both films and television series. <SEP> 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). 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. He was not widely accepted as an accomplished director in Japan until" Hana -bi" won the Golden Lion in 1997. <SEP> Its score was composed by Joe Hisaishi. The film was entered into the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. This movie was remade in Tamil as "Nandalala". "Kikujiro" tells the story of a young boy searching for his mother during his summer vacation. The film is mostly divided into smaller chapters, listed as entries in the boy's summer vacation diary. Kitano's inspiration for the character (not the film) was his own father, Kikujiro Kitano, a gambler who struggled to feed his family and pay the rent. Kikujiro  is a 1999 Japanese film starring, written, and directed by Takeshi Kitano. Similar to his earlier works "Getting Any?", and "A Scene at the Sea", Kitano references the yakuza only tangentially in "Kikujiro", a departure from his work in famous crime dramas such as "Sonatine" and "Hana-bi". Aimed at the whole family, the film was allegedly inspired by "The Wizard of Oz" with the basic premise being a road trip. Kitano's familiar elements and locales are present: drawings, vignettes, the seaside, and angels. Although the plot is composed largely of sad events, the film often has a light-hearted atmosphere, achieved mostly through Kitano's character and his somewhat bizarre encounters. <SEP> Mauro Bolognini( 28 June 1922 – 14 May 2001) was an Italian film and stage director of literate sensibility, known for his masterly handling of period subject matter. <SEP> In 2008 the film was selected to enter the list of the 100 Italian films to be saved. Arrangiatevi!, internationally released as You're on Your Own, is a 1959 Italian comedy film directed by Mauro Bolognini. <SEP> I Want Your Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
