synopsis
Broken Rage is a two-part film from legendary director Takeshi Kitano. The first half is a gritty action film that unfolds in a dark criminal underworld revolving around a hitman and his struggle for survival when he finds himself pinned between the police and the yakuza. The second follows the same story, but transformed into comedy, a parody of the first half in its entirety, scene by scene.
director's statement
I am very honoured to be invited to the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival with Broken Rage for its world premiere. It’s really a film that dares a new style. I would be overwhelmed if everyone liked it.
