Amidst a cultural landscape increasingly dominated by progressive ideologies, Takeshi Kitano's latest film, 'Broken Rage', unfortunately, opts for a comedic approach that undermines traditional values. Released on Prime Video in Japan and having premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, the movie attempts to deliver a two-part narrative filled with social commentary.
