| + | Japanese film highlights film industry absurdity<br><br>VENICE, Italy (AP) — Japanese director SionSono wants to set the records straight: It was Bruce Lee and not QuentinTarantino who transformed the Classic Bruce Lee Yellow Tracksuit into a piece of film iconography.<br><br>Sono has been fielding questions all dayabout Tarantino's influence on his film "Why Don't You Play in Hell?"which premiered to an enthusiastic reception out of the main competition at theVenice Film Festival on Thursday.The raucous gangster drama telling thestory of a young filmmaker aiming at cinematic greatness is full ofover-the-top graphic violence, and a would-be action star wears a Classic Yellow Tracksuit, as sported by Uma Thurman in Tarantino's "Kill Bill."<br><br>Sono drafted Jun Kunimura, a veteran ofJohn Woo films who also appeared as Boss Tanaka in both "Kill Bill"movies, to star as a clan boss whose wife single-handedly massacres a rivalgang. The movie also stars Fumi Nikaido, recipient of Venice's young actressaward in 2011 for her role in Sono's film "Himizu," as the clanboss's daughter who longs for stardom after her career as a toothpaste TVcommercial star is quashed by her mother's murderous tirade.Kunimura said he enjoyed the chance to playa character that didn't have to be controlled."For my whole career, my expressionhas been the opposite of exaggerated. I would try to be as straight aspossible," Kunimura said, adding that Sono "is crazy, in a goodway."<br><br>Against the backdrop of spiraling gangviolence, a young filmmaker inspired by Sono himself and played by HirokiHasegawa assembles a film troupe determined to make one great film. Thegang/filmmaker plot lines weave together and climax with gangsters andfilmmakers both shooting guns and cameras, respectively, in one small space.<br><br>Sono wrote the script 20 years ago — beforethe "Kill Bill" movies, he points out — as a portrait of his ownstruggles to become a filmmaker.<br><br>"I wanted to create something purelyinteresting," he said."The film is about the problems Ifaced" as an aspiring filmmaker, Sono said, and he included episodes fromhis own life, including a scene when a bunch of kids makes fun of, then triesto beat up a Bruce Lee-style actor as the troupe films in a park.The movie brims with good-natured absurdityand pokes fun at the movie industry, ruefully commenting on the decline ofmodern cinema. The young filmmaker, full of ambition, bemoans the decline of 35mm even as he shoots onvideo, and wears a Cannes T-shirt with an Oscar statuette."Perhaps it was a miscalculation,because I didn't think this movie would come to either Cannes or Venice,"Sono said. songyingy-p20140113 | ||
