Feeling
responsible for the shattered lives of his loved ones, beleaguered
police detective Nishi (Takeshi Kitano) takes desperate measures to try
and set things right in a world gone wrong. With his wife suffering from
leukemia and his partner paralyzed from a brutal gangster attack, Nishi
borrows money from a yakuza loan shark and then robs a bank to clear
his debt. The yakuza, however, are not so easily bought off, sending
Nishi down a road paved with nihilism and violence. Considered Kitano's
first true cinematic masterpiece, HANA-BI demonstrates the auteur's
immense talents both in front of and behind the camera.
