Written, directed and edited by Takeshi Kitano, Achilles and the Tortoise tells the story of Machisu (Kitano), an aging man determined to fulfill his life-long dream of becoming a painter. Faced with feelings of frustration and failure, Machisu persists in living out his passion with the help of his wife (Kanako Higuchi), who continues to support her husband amid the harsh realities of success; or, in Machisu’s case, lack thereof. Featuring roughly 70 pieces of Kitano’s own artwork, Achilles and the Tortoise is the final film in the acclaimed Japanese filmmaker’s self-reflective trilogy.  - TIFFG  [18+]  $   Director Takeshi Kitano Country Japan Cast Takeshi Kitano Kanako Higuchi Language Japanese Links Office-kitano.co.jp AsianMediaWiki MoviePlayer Nipponcinema Nipponcinema TwitchFilm Wikia YouTube Alivenotdead DarkHorizons Filmstalker.co.uk Jasongray Kitanotakeshi OutNow Technorati TIFFreviews TokyoGraph Variety Varietyasiaonline YouTube Twitch
