Takeshis Quotes

The film is ambiguous, an ambiguity that reflects on Japan today, and a world in which nothing is clear. Once I made the film (Takeshis` (2005)), I realized it was about this feeling of vague disquiet in Japan and in the rest of the world, a feeling that is gaining on us, getting less vague.

I wanted to make a movie that can`t be pigeonholed. I want audiences to come out of this film not knowing what to say or what to think. (on making Takeshis` (2005))
