Japanese actor, comedian and director Takeshi Kitano has revealed that “Kubi” (“Neck”), his upcoming samurai period drama, will highlight homosexual relationships between men during 15th- and 16th-century Japan. What he said: Kitano, 76, broke the news at a press conference Wednesday ahead of “Kubi’s” opening on Nov. 23.
Takeshi Kitano s Kubi is one peculiar movie, a frantic, blood-drenched, star-studded historical epic that has more beheadings per minute than most feature films.
