Synopsis
"Glory to the Filmmaker!" (2007) is a Japanese comedy you can watch online on iFILM — written, directed by, and starring Takeshi Kitano as a fictionalized version of himself. He plays an aging auteur who can't settle on a genre for his next project and keeps abandoning each attempt mid-shoot.
Action, romance, horror, avant-garde — none of it sticks. The film is essentially Kitano laughing at his own creative restlessness: dry, strange, and slightly self-indulgent in the best way. Not the place to start with his work, but a rewarding detour for anyone already on board. Stream "Glory to the Filmmaker!" online on iFILM.
