Spotlight Selection 2010 / Director: Takeshi Kitano
Outrage
Despite the plot complexity, Kitano directs one of his most direct and most violent pictures here. His work behind the camera is crisp and precise, his work in front of it demonstrating again that Kitano is generally at his best as a blank cipher, one that you can read almost anything in to and one capable of sudden bursts in any direction without warning. Kitano surrounds himself with talent both young and old, the cast filled out with young stars (Ryo Kase) and reliable older faces (Jun Kinimura, Renji Ishibashi) alike.

The majority of Outrage follows a simple structure: in one scene, a group of yakuza talk about hurting someone; in the next scene, they hurt that person.
