The widely respected director, Takeshi Kitano has comeback to the Yakuza film genre at Cannes with Outrageous. This movie is supposed to be horribly violent. Even though he was able to get into the festival with the reputation of it being good, it was slammed by French newspapers. Le Monde called it “his worst ever film,” and said the “depiction of excessive violence was grotesque,” while Figaro couldn’t understand why it had even been entered in the competition in the first place.

I am personally not going to give any judgment until I see the film for myself. Considering his other movies, I’m pretty sure it won’t be that bad, but I don’t know how I’ll feel about the violence.
