Takeshi Kitano. OUTRAGE. Full Trailer.

by Todd Brown, April 14, 2010 3:40 PM

With the official selections for Cannes 2010 announced tomorrow - the sidebars come a week or so later - the film world is wrapped up in a guessing game of what will and won't appear at the big fest. And many are guessing yes for Outrage, the return to the gangster genre where he made his international name for director-star Takeshi Kitano.

The first teaser for this turned up via the official site a while back and has now been followed by a full trailer. Video quality is not the best. Film quality looking considerably better. Check it below.

The story begins with Sekiuchi (Kitamura Soichiro), boss of the Sannokai, a huge organised crime syndicate controlling the entire Kanto region, issuing a stern warning to his lieutenant Kato (Miura Tomokazu) and right-hand man Ikemoto (Kunimura Jun), head of the Ikemoto-gumi. Kato orders Ikemoto to bring the unassociated Murase-gumi gang in line, and he immediately passes the task on to his subordinate Otomo (Beat Takeshi), who runs his own crew. The tricky jobs that no-one wants to do always end up in Otomo's lap...

Looking forward to Cannes announcement tomorrow. Coppola, LCD, Kitano, Tran Ahn Hung? Yes please.

Trailer though, it doesn't feel like the older Kitano gangster films does it?

Kitano's one of the best directors in the world, if not THE best (since Godard makes films every, like, 5 years now...), and for my money, he keeps getting better and better. His last trilogy was mindblowing, and while I'm a little disappointed that he's going back to his yakuza ways after making such beautiful films as "Achilles and the Tortoise", I have to stop and remember that Kitano hasn't made a single bad movie of the 15 he's done. So, while, conceptually, it feels like a step back (and it also feels like he's only doing it since a lot of people didn't care for his last trilogy, for whatever ridiculous reasons...?), I have a good feeling that he'll probably use what he's learned from doing those films and craft something unique and beautiful with this one, like he always does. Bring it on...
