Description for The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano: Flowering Blood
Paperback. Series: Directors' Cuts. Num Pages: 256 pages, 20 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: APFB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 233 x 156 x 9. Weight in Grams: 226.
The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano: Flowering Blood is a detailed aesthetic, Deleuzian, and phenomenological exploration of Japan's finest currently-working film director, performer, and celebrity. The volume uniquely explores Kitano's oeuvre through the tropes of stillness and movement, becoming animal, melancholy and loss, intensity, schizophrenia, and radical alterity; and through the aesthetic temperatures of color, light, camera movement, performance and urban and oceanic space. In this highly original monograph, all of Kitano's films are given due consideration, including A Scene at the Sea (1991), Sonatine (1993), Dolls (2002), and Outrage (2010).
