Outrage

With Outrage, the first part of a new trilogy, Kitano Takeshi makes a spectacular return to the yakuza genre, which he abandoned in 2001. This gives us an insight into the way in which criminal organisations in the Tokyo underworld work and the impression they leave on society.
Director Kitano plays the leader of a smaller crime syndicate taking on a rival organisation at the behest of a big boss. Kitano takes the time to sketch the structures and relationships within these organisations exactly, showing clearly how this exceptional social environment is maintained by corruption, lies and purely cosmetic rituals - and how this permeates through to the rest of society. Kitano strips away all romance from life in the underworld, leaving just brutal violence, deep-rooted distrust and the very blackest humour.
