Overview:	Takeshi Kitano, Japan's most famous contemporary filmmaker, directs and plays the lead role in this very original take of the last days of a tough Tokyo gangster. Kitano is Murakawa, an established and ruthless Yakuza, sent outside his usual turf to intervene in a gang war on the tropical island of Okinawa. Things go badly wrong and he and his gang get caught in the crossfire. Forced to retreat to a seaside hideaway, they kill time and fool around on the beach, but then their enemies start picking them off one by one. Murakawa decides to go on the offensive for a final and breathtaking showdown. Contrasting deeply lyrical scenes with shocking bursts of violence, laughter with gunfire, Sonatine shows why Kitano is one of the most exciting filmmakers in today's world cinema.
