I guess. You’re partially right. To be fair, it is a Japanese & American co-production. It also often referred as Kitano’s first and only American film. But I’m sure you’ve seen this film and know it is also set in LA. So it’s not ‘pure japanese’ as you described. However, I’ll make the corrections so you can sleep better at night.
lol at pitchfork. he’ll probably never make an average album in you guys eyes.

The Bill Douglas Trilogy (1972 -1978)
- My Childhood
- My Ain Folk
- My Way Home
QA - It is in the final film of the trilogy (My Way Home) that it became obvious to me what Douglas was trying to communicate (among other themes and motifs) or rather what resonated with me more. There is an importance in fathers or father-figure type relationships in relation to Jaime. The titular character who is also based on Douglass’ own childhood. Jaime is emotionally crippled and yearns for this relationship that keeps escaping him. It’s really quite sad really - I really don’t think this ever happens for Jaime. Well, there are moments but they are often short and he is often manipulated into thinking that these relationships are achievable. It must be said - Stephen Archibald who plays Jaime possesses maturity above his years (see ending of My Childhood).
