Takeshis' - Takeshi Kitano - 2005

Shortly after completing Sonatine, director Takeshi Kitano conceived of a film about an ordinary guy who enters an imaginary world inside his own head. This idea comes to fruition in Kitano's latest feature, Takeshis'. Kitano acts opposite himself, playing both the ordinary guy - also named Kitano - and the director's real-life alter-ego, TV and cinema star "Beat" Takeshi. He infiltrates the fascinating world of his own unusual celebrity enterprise and creates mesmerizing conceptual reverberations.
Five-hundred percent Kitano, Takeshis' follows the busy lives of Beat, the performer, and Kitano, a shy cashier at a convenience store. At times, their paths intersect; at others, they run parallel. Kitano, a wannabe actor who divides his days between frustrating auditions and creative daydreaming, drifts into a mysterious world of fantasy that comes to light in divergent aspects of Beat's real life and his violent onscreen persona.

Beat Takeshi vive la ajetreada, y a veces surrealista, vida de una celebridad del mundo del espectáculo. Pero su doble, Kitano, un cajero de un supermercado, es todavía un desconocido actor esperando su gran oportunidad. Tras cruzar sus pasos con Beat Takeshi en una serie de frustrantes audiciones, Kitano parece caer misteriosamente en un estado de fantasía en el que sobresalen aspectos de la vida real de Beat y de su violenta personalidad en la pantalla.
