Glory to the Filmmaker! (Kantoku · Banzai!)

Kitano's latest film, which I doubt will be released in the west. Beat Takeshi plays a version of himself in which he's a struggling director cycling through a number of different genres in an effort to complete his latest project. he tries a Ozu-style film, a horror, film, refuses to do a gangster film, some love story, and finally decides on a sci-fi blockbuster, with little sci-fi, and a crzy professor, and some nuts. He is followed by a plastic version of himself, who sometimes turns into a metal version, when needing to fight, turning himself into Zidane, for some headbutting. Apparently he has as described it as part of the ongoing "creative destruction" of his career, which is not far from the truth, it is quite bonkers and surreal.
