DramaComedy
Takeshi Kitano plays a version of himself in which he's a struggling director cycling through a number of different genres in an effort to complete his latest project.
VIBE
A meta-commentary on the struggles of filmmaking, this film feels like a wry, melancholic look at the creative process. It's a self-aware, absurdist journey through the mind of a director grappling with his art and life.
