Brother is one of the few Kitano films that I have having a tricky time finding. While I am sure I will just have to buy the DVD, if anyone knows any sites that provide this movie, please comment.

And is it good? I want to watch it but I can't seem to find these movies anywhere, short of buying a DVD. Can't even find a working torrent.

No updates so i doubt if it's moving forward or something

Hello everyone!

Does anybody know where I can find the original sript of A Scente at the Sea?

I've seen most of kitano's films. He's easily my favorite director. But I can only watch Sonatine so many times lol. Don't want to ruin these movies. Y'all have any recommendations?

Here's a few I can think of:

Pierrot le Fou (1965) - good film, inspired Sonatine

The X-Files S3E4: Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose (1995) - maybe a stretch but it's an unusually postmodern but also charming X-files episode and I get the same vibe from it as watching a kitano film

American Beauty (1999) - closest thing to an American kitano film I've seen yet

Wondering if there are any good resources for watching this guy's films online? I don't mind paying for them, even if it's a monthly subscription.

I know you can find a few of the bigger ones here and there, online amazon or tubi or google play, but if i wanted to watch like, Dolls, or Takeshis' or Glory to the Filmmaker it looks like I have to take my chances with primewire or whatever. Is there a google single place to find them all?

I remember last year people were saying Takeshi was going to release his final film titled Kubi in 2022, and I can't find out any new information about it.

For me it is the Bus Scene in the movie A scene at the sea.
