Production

This film was conceived around the same time as Takeshi Kitano’s early directorial work Sonatine (1993). Akira Kurosawa was said to have high expectations, stating that “If Kitano were to make this film, it would be a masterpiece on par with Seven Samurai.” The reason it took Kitano 30 years was explained as follows: “Recently, I’ve been able to gather talented actors in the Kitano-group, and when such excellent actors come together, I felt like it was finally time to make it… and that’s how it finally came to fruition,” Kitano said.

This film was produced with a budget of 1.5 billion yen, with funding from Kadokawa, and it was shot between April and September 2021.

On August 3, 2022, Weekly Shincho reported that despite the film’s editing being nearly 90% complete, there was a dispute between Kitano and Kadokawa over the contract, resulting in a suspension of production. According to the report, Kadokawa sought additional funding from Netflix, but Kitano demanded a portion of it for himself. It was also reported that Kitano was unaware of this funding request and became suspicious, wondering if there were other hidden agendas involved. On the same day, Kitano explained the situation on his official website, stating, “Due to Kadokawa’s refusal to finalize the contract, I had no choice but to halt the production. Some staff members were also dissatisfied with the contract terms, and it seems that there were people who hadn’t signed contracts until the end of the shoot.” He further clarified, “It’s not about money. The contract proposed by Kadokawa was extremely one-sided, and I haven’t made any unreasonable demands. If they agree to the contract, I will resume the editing work.”

Release

On April 15, 2023, it was announced that the film would be released in Japan in the autumn of the same year, and confirmed its date of November 23, 2023 after the Cannes premiere.

The film was selected to be screened as part of the Cannes Premiere section of the 76th Cannes Film Festival, where it had its world premiere on 23 May 2023.
