Known initially for his fresh take on the Japanese Yakuza gangster genre, Kitano took it to new heights and subtleties in such films as Hana-Bi, Kikujuro and Kids Return bringing him immediate international attention.

This unique collection captures almost all of his major film work as a director as well as his scenery-chewing acting performance in Yoichi Sai’s Blood and Bones. Also included in this collection is an eclectic choice of Kitano’s seldom seen productions from his Office Kitano label.
