Takeshis'
500% Kitano - nothing to add!
Directed by Takeshi Kitano
Produced by dentsu Music and Entertainment, TV Asahi
A surreal, self-referential metafictional comedy that blurs the line between celebrity and identity through the collision of two Kitanos, using hallucination and absurdist logic to explore fame, ambition, and the self.
Beat Takeshi lives the busy and sometimes surreal life of a showbiz celebrity. One day he meets his blond lookalike named Kitano, a shy convenience store cashier, who, still an unknown actor, is waiting for his big break. After their paths cross, Kitano seems to begin hallucinating about becoming Beat.
