Kids Return
Kids Return , Kizzu Ritn? is a 1996 Japanese film written, edited and directed by Takeshi Kitano. The film was made directly after Kitano recovered from a motorcycle wreck that left one side of his body paralyzed. After extensive surgery and physical therapy he quickly went about making Kids Return amidst speculation that he might never be able to work again. The music was composed by Joe Hisaishi, and the cinematographer was Katsumi Yanagishima.
At the time of its release it was Kitanos most successful film yet in his native Japan, which until then had been notedly much less enthusiastic about his films than international viewers.
