He is accompanied by brusque oddball Kikujiro (<strong>T akeshi Kitano</strong>)\, who seems to have nothing better to do other tha n shout threats and sniff out easy money. A conscious attempt to steer awa y from the hardboiled yakuza films that established his international repu tation\, Kitano&rsquo\;s picaresque road film displays the filmmaker&rsquo \;s unique brand of sentimentality and his exceptional gift for deadpan co medy.
