"Filming began one snowy day." "Takeshi Beat plays the part of a man who confronts life, death, then love." "As a director, he portrays serenity and violence." "You have no qualms." "You shoot in cold blood." "Hold your arm like that and shoot." "Cut." "Good." "Well aimed." "Very good." "That's a good scene." "Takeshi plays Detective Nishi." "He asks a colleague to do a stakeout while he goes to see his wife who's in hospital." "But Horibé gets shot." "To avenge his friend," "Nishi goes too far in his duties as a policeman." "But his pain is more than just revenge." "What pushes a man to act like this?" "Why did we come up with a scene like that?" "It kind of scares me." "Cut." "OK, that's fine." "Oh, it hurts." "I almost died once." "My face was all squashed." "My films are considered violent, abroad." "This image is firmly rooted in their minds." "Violence is indispensable to get other messages across." "This bothers me a lot." "But I can't make compromises." "Tormented by his colleague's wounds, he leaves the police force." "We have to sort out how the shadows move." "You see, like that." "Hey!" "Money becomes essential to Nishi." "Don't wanna sell it to me?" "Where'll you find the cash?" "I'll get it from the bank." "Huh!" "That's your problem." "He sends the stolen money to Horibé who finds a new reason for living in painting." "Takashi Kitano wrote this musical sequence personally." "That's good." "OK, that's done." "I wanted to do a flower." "But I turned it into this "kappa"." "Let's go to the florist for the rest." "For the little time that's left, he travels with his wife." "The trip he makes with her contains little dialogue." "It's quite hard to understand." "But gradually the context makes the situation clear." "I try to reach this, but I fall." "Hold me." "I have to take it." "A little more." "That's good." "You didn't push me." "The little time that's left passes by quietly." "On this side of the beach, a couple are arguing." "And in the end, they start joking." "This scene goes on over here." "On the other side, the other scene is going on." "Look at that." "Have you ever seen a screenplay like it?" "If I lose it, that's it." "You're crazy, because a guy dumped you?" "Huh?" "No need to make a face like that." "You look like a scarecrow." "More like a gorilla." "He has a horrible face." "Cut." "Even the moments of calm don't last." "The bad guys are after his loot." "Well, bro?" "I do that..." "Ow!" "I do that, and the blood spurts." "OK, I do that and that." "I just come..." "The time spent with his wife goes quietly by toward a certain end." "What are you doing?" "What're you doing there?" "What the hell are you doing?" "Cut." "Thank you." "Ah, that's it." "Sorry about your eye." "Is it open?" "Yes, I think so." "It's really cold." "It's gone hard." "That can't happen often." "What if we released the cylinder?" "For the snow scenes, we'll use the rushes." "Yes, that'll work." "We shot at the car." "As there were four of us, it made a lot of damage." "When you're hit... raise your arm like this." "Up to here." "You're hit, you do this, and then, that." "He made a mistake." "He fired before I fired my gun." "Action." "A deserted beach." "My old colleagues." "The detectives." "However, my trip with my wife isn't over yet." "Do what you can." "We won't be able to do anything if it rains any harder." "We may have to call it a day." "Fortunately, the weather improved." "If it had been too dark, the shot wouldn't have worked." "I'd have looked like a pirate in the Sea of Japan." "One moment." " What is it?" " The take's OK." "It's a wrap." "I think I was too rough on them." "Cut." "Thank you." "Are you OK?" "Not too tired?" "Thank you very much." "The film's in the box!" "It looks good to me." "It's sad when the team splits up." "I don't think that my style will change in my next films." "Subtitling:" "CEDRA"
