--I got to know about Nobunaga movies always by accident! This time it's about
Kubi (
首,"Neck"), based on a novel by Beat Takeshi.
Feels like a controversial movie that could be just presented as a premiere at Cannes rather than partecipating the festival... The story circles around the betrayal of Araki Murashige, and follows Shinzaemon and the farmer Shigesuke in a spiral of events that would lead to the
Honniji Incident.
A trailer was released a few days ago, and we could see some bits on Nobunaga already:
Nobunaga is interpreted by
Ryo Kase. Looks like it's going along the "cruel psycho" road so I'm not expecting much for the character.
Noting
Kanichiro as Ranmaru and
Jun Soejima as Yasuke among the cast.
I'm not expecting much from this, but it's going to be interesting to see the views on Sengoku Era by Takeshi Kitano and how he's going to interpret certain historical facts. Also, since it's Kitano's there's a good chance that I could watch this in local theatres, hopefully, so--
