Kitano Takeshi & cast of "Outrage Beyond" make appearance at Japan premiere

allkpop



On September 18, the Japanese premiere of director Kitano Takeshi�s �Outrage Beyond� (opens October 6) took place in Tokyo. Kitano appeared on stage at the premiere along with twelve of the film�s cast members, including Nishida Toshiyuki, Miura Tomokazu, and Takahashi Katsunori. Director Kitano discussed having such a large number of A-list actors appear in the film, joking, �The honorariums for the actors bulk up to a large amount, so my company is in trouble. Everyone, please go see the film, so that we could come out of the red...�

�Outrage Beyond� is set five years after the film �Outrage�, which was released in 2010. The violence caused by juniors trying to dominate seniors is supposed to be resolved, but the film follows the beginning of a police mission to wipe out the Yakuza. This is done through the character Otomo, who is supposed to be dead. The film depicts how internal conflicts and betrayals begin and grow into a huge dispute of �Kanto versus Kansai�.�Beat Takeshi (=Kitano Takeshi), whose character survived in the previous film also appears.

At the event, director Kitano, Nishida, Miura, Takahashi, Kase Ryo, Nakano Hideo, Kohinata Fumiyo, Kouyama Shigeru, Shiomi Sansei, Matsushige Yutaka, and Arai Hirofumi appeared dressed in dark suits and appealed to fans. Nishida, who appeared in a Kitano film for the first time, stated excitedly, �I am truly happy. After seeing the completed film, I truly enjoyed it and found it refreshing." Arai, who was the youngest person on the stage, smiled as he said, �When I make an appearance in regular films, I am usually looking the fiercest, but today, I am the cutest.�

In addition, the film was recently shown at the �69th Annual Venice Film Festival� (in Italy) prior to Japan, and Kitano, who visited Venice, gave a positive evaluation as he said, �I was scared about the reactions, but it seemed like the audience liked it. I was happy to hear that even the harsh Italian film critics said that it was a masterpiece of violent films.� He bragged, �I think that it's a movie that has built a new era of Yakuza movies.�
