Brother (2000). This Yakuza flick from Kitano may not be his absolute best, but it might just be his most violent. It might also be one of the most open display of fatalistic and grim humor as compared to his other flicks. The story itself is about honor, holding true commitments, and being true to oneself, even when that truth will but lead to heartbreak and suffering. This was a nice breakthrough for Takeshi in that he succeeds in the East meets West type of flicks, where such a pairing only leads to violent chaos. Overall a fun watch, albeit a tad violent. Merci beacoup.
