Official selection: Cannes Film Film Festival
Legendary director, writer and actor ‘Beat’ Takeshi makes a welcome return to the Yakuza thrillers with which he first garner international attention. Unlike Takeshi’s earlier thrillers (the brilliant Violent Cop and Boiling Point) Outrage eschews the focus on the lonely driven individual for the broader picture of the Yakuza clans. This film follows the increasingly violent feud between different families as their territorial ambitions sink into ruthless violence, brutal torture and bloodshed.
Produced with his trademark ultra-cool style, Outrage - Kitano’first thriller in a decade - is a beautifully realised meditation on crime, violence and honour.
“stands comfortably besides both Sonatine and Fireworks to create a trio of truly iconic international crime films” Twitch
