Synopsis
Blood and Bones (血と骨, 2004) is a Japanese epic drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Yoichi Sai and based on the autobiographical novel by Yang Sogil. Takeshi Kitano plays Kim Shun-Pei across five decades of a life built on violence.
It starts in 1923: a young man from Jeju Island arrives in Osaka chasing work and something like a future. He builds a kamaboko factory, secures a foothold in the Korean-Japanese neighbourhood, and accumulates a family he treats as property. Each decade he grows harder. His wife endures, his children count the years until escape, and the community learns to give him a wide berth. Sai doesn't soften any of it; the film is a long reckoning with one man's capacity for cruelty and with a community that survived in spite of him.
