Beat Takeshi lives the busy, and sometimes surreal, life of a showbiz celebrity. But his blond lookalike named Kitano, a shy convenience store cashier, is still an unknown actor waiting for his big break.
After crossing paths with Beat and a series of frustrating auditions, Kitano seems to mysteriously fall into a fantasy state highlighted by aspects of Beat's real life and violent on-screen persona.
This extraordinary film offers a kaleidoscopic vision into the psyche of the legend that is Takeshi Kitano.
