Blood and Bones
Japanese icon Takeshi Kitano plays Shunpei Kim, a Korean immigrant who comes to Osaka as a teenager in1920. Working at a fish factory, Kim claws his way out of poverty to become a father and leader in the immigrant community where he lives. But this is no feel-good, rags-to-riches story, Kim is a vicious brute whose rise to the top has been violently bloody and merciless. Based on one of Korea's best-selling novels, the director waited six years for his leading man, not wanting to shoot the film with anyone else.
