Hana-bi (Fireworks) (1997)

Director: Takeshi Kitano
Writer:    Takeshi Kitano
Language: Japanese
From the films I have seen from Takeshi Kitano, I think this is his masterpiece. Nishi (Takeshi Kitano) is a cop whose partner in life is suffering from leukemia and his professional partner Horibe (Ren Ohsugi) gets shot in work and is confined to a wheel chair and becomes suicidal. The film has excellent visuals and atmospheric music. Film's score was done my Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi, a frequent collabarator.
The film was an international success.

Rating: 5/5
