...ready to retire. A yakuza gathering is like afternoon at a retirement club, each man alone in regret and anxiety. Sonatine, which secured Kitano's reputation in the West, plays like a gangster King Lear as rewritten by Samuel Beckett. The soliloquies are bloody battles, illuminated by the sheet-lightning pyrotechnics of automatic gunfire; but the rest is Kitano walking, sitting, staring. Till he blows his brains...
Gertrude sits upright on a donated bed in a cardboard shack in a rough Durban township that is now the compass of her world.

One of the workers had a cardboard sheet with a triangle cut out in the middle, presumably allowing her to make a concertgoer a patriotic Brazilian and a perhaps unknowing advertisement for the American Online triangular corporate logo...
