Synopsis:
Legendary Japanese director, actor and hardman, Kitano 'Beat' Takeshi, puts the 'gang' back into 'doppelganger' with this hyper-real violation of the traditional rules of film form and biography. He plays Beat Takeshi, who lives a busy, and sometimes surreal, life of a show biz celebrity. But his blonde lookalike called Kitano, a shy convenience store cashier, is still a gifted actor waiting for his big break. After crossing paths with Beat and a series of frustrating auditions, Kitano seems to strangely fall into a fantasy state highlighted by Beat's real-life and onscreen persona. |
