Hana-Bi is a gripping and thought provoking story. This is the kind of movie that I like to watch more than once and discuss with a friend wondering what decisions I would make, if I found myself in a similar situation.

  10. Love Takeshi Kitano. Each of his movies always has an interesting point to make on the ambiguities of Japanese society.
