Plot / Synopsis:
All of Takeshi Kitano's films are marked by a high degree of narrative ambiguity, but his 1997 feature, Hana-Bi, is distinguished from his earlier work by the degree to which the multiple meanings emanating from Kitano's own cinematic presence dominates the viewer's experience of the film (1). As the central protagonist, Detective Nishi of the Tokyo Police, Kitano appears in nearly every scene of the film, and as director, he relentlessly focuses the camera on his own frequently immobile body. Hana-Bi's action turns on a tension between these moments of stillness and flashes of intense, penetrative violence. The result is a taut atmosphere of explosive calm.
As Hana-Bi begins, Detective Nishi has recently lost his only child and his wife is dying of cancer. Early in the film, while Nishi is visiting his wife in hospital, his long-standing police-partner and friend, Horibe, is shot and paralysed during a stakeout. When Nishi and two other policemen attempt to tackle Horibe's assailant in a busy shopping mall shortly after the shooting, one of the policemen is killed in the ensuing fight. Plagued by guilt and an almost overwhelming sense of loss, Nishi leaves the force and, through a series of not always lawful acts, attempts to retrospectively validate a life gone horribly wrong.
It takes several viewings to completely untangle the details of Hana-Bi's intentionally fragmented and non-linear narrative. The tragic events at the shopping mall, for example, are revealed only gradually, as Nishi periodically recalls moments from the shooting in minute detail. The viewer is forced to participate in the story's construction, sorting through each scene in an active process of interpretation. Narrative thrust is submerged to the point where it no longer dominates the spectator's interpretation of, and relation to, the image, thereby allowing resonances and meanings lying beyond the narrative realm to enter into our reading of the film. ~ AMG ~
