This book will explore these issues of auteurship and stardom in
the films of Kitano Takeshi especially as they relate to problems
of personal and national identity in a Japan confronting an age of
globalization. Starting in his early days as one side of a stand-up
comedy duo, Kitano has used pairs throughout his films to deftly
play out a liminal space between cinema and television, traditional
and modern, Japan and the world. Combining a detailed account of
the situation in Japanese film and criticism with unique close
analyses of Kitano's films from Violent Cop to Takeshis, the
author, a renowned expert on Japanese cinema who himself
participated in the debates about Kitano in Japan, relates the
director to issues of contemporary cinema, Japanese national
identity, and globalism.
