The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano [THREAD] Before international attention was fixed onto auteur director #TakeshiKitano , he went by the name of “Beat” Takeshi and possessed huge domestic clout as one of the most well-known Japanese #comedians and TV hosts of that era.

With waggling tentacles, promiscuousness and high-flying action to boot, Wicked City is an eerie and chiefly erotic example of the adult potential of anime film. Do not watch it with your mother.

This led to the first mass-produced affordable #piano , the S1B. It also initiated a collaborative partnership where GK was responsible for YAMAHA’s #motorcycle designs until 2014, the first of which being the YD-1.

Ever since Luke Stevens and Arnar Már Jónsson first met at the Royal College of Art in London, they’ve been questioning what limits performance wear to mingle with traditional tailoring, and vice versa. [THREAD]

Shiro #Kuramata , one of the most #influential designers of the #20thcentury , represents that very phenomenon, a maverick whose fingerprints you will find scattered everywhere - from the interior of an understated #Tokyo sushi restaurant to exhibitions in #London .

What comes out of this bond is a continual thread of conversation between the two designers, their friends and customers, about how we can incorporate functionality into our everyday outfit.

She's set to provide his signature at a certified renewal of the treaty between the Human World and the Black World in #Tokyo . Tensions escalate [both political and otherwise], relationships develop and the #film descends into a #gothic world of #sexual violence and #perversion .

He also successfully #transcended the debate on #form and #function , instead fixating on a more surrealist and minimalist approach.

Kitano’s directorial debut came about in a way that would come to define his very existence. #ViolentCop (1989) was to have Kitano as lead role but Kinji #Fukasaku - a revered director who at the time had a buzz that was at equals with Kitano - would serve as the film’s director.

Though now, Kitano - who also happens to be a #poet , #journalist , and lecturer - had to overcome a problem of his own doing: How to convince an #audience to rid themselves of the comedian perception they have of him and to embrace his new, #violent persona?

Japanese transport experience - the Komachi #BulletTrain and the NEX Express. A lesser known achievement was his role with the #Metabolists , where he created the street #furniture for EXPO 1970, including the iconic #Nippon phonebooth capsule. #sabukaruonline

Kuramata’s path to design began in 1957, where he graduated from high school and started working at #Teikokukizai , a regional furniture company. Not long after he enrolled at the #Kurosawa Design school of Tokyo and began dedicating his time to building his own #design language.

Then in 1997, the release of #HanaBi awarded Kitano with the Golden Lion at @venicefilmfest and the auteur label was appended onto his name.

Unfazed, a year later he released #BoilingPoint , which was incredibly formative in constructing the aesthetics of what is now so synonymous with Kitano films – subtle character #expression , light dialogue, and long takes interrupted with shocking bouts of violence and humour.

However, due to scheduling disagreements between the two, Fukasaku pulled out which prompted the producers to offer the role to #Kitano . The man who claims his core activity is ‘trying to avoid being #pigeon -holed by the public’ responded by saying “Sure, how hard can it be?”

Not long after came #Sonatine (1993), which concluded the #Yakuza related trilogy with such a bang that Quentin #Tarantino - who was so captivated by the movie – arranged the movie’s Northern America distribution.

Admittedly this was a task that looked insurmountable. Upon the #films release, Kitano himself had snuck into a #theatre and witnessed the reaction of the audience every time his character was in the frame - continuous chuckling.

A thirty-year film making career and 21 #directed films to his name, Kitano now rightfully acknowledges that he has made some #headway in being perceived as a serious #actor [and director] by the #Japanese public. #sabukaruonline
