Sonatine

Beat Takeshi is making gangster films truly unique in the genre." -- Quentin Tarantino

A wicked amalgam of droll comedy and stark violence, writer/director/star Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine is one of the most original action films ever made. After a yakuza (Kitano) is dispatched to resolve an Okinawa gang war, he comes to realize that he wants to leave the racket for good. Rolling Thunder is proud to present Sonatine, long unavailable in the U.S., in an exclusive widescreen transfer. (In Japanese with English subtitles.)
