No, he is a unique auteur.

You're saying there's absolutely NOTHING out there like his stuff? Not in Japan or elsewhere?
>>83648550
Yes, I'm afraid so.

I have not found anything that can be both as sincere and deadpan as what Kitano has put out.
It's remarkably unique.
Tried
I've seen both Hana-bi and Sonatine and loved them both, what about his other "yakuza" style films?
Violent Cop, Boiling Point, Brother, Outrage etc?
Or his comedies/non-staring arthouse stuff?
Does any of his other work hold a candle to his two "popular" films?
>>83650868
Some are better than Hana-bi and some are better than Sonatine. Dolls is his best imo
