Book Reviews of Beat Takeshi Vs. Takeshi Kitano

Book Review: Excellent Resource for Understanding Takeshi's Films
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is full of interesting reviews of most of Takeshi's films, everything from Violent Cop to Dolls. It presents engrossing ideas of the duality of self and the masks Takeshi wears for his public. While being perhaps a little too worshipful of the director/superstar, it is none the less thought provoking and thorough. Worth every penny.
