Title : "A Scene at the Threshold: Liminality in the Films of Kitano 
Takeshi"
Author : Aaron Gerow
Journal or Edited Volume Title : Asian Cinema
Key Words : Kitano Takeshi, liminality, borders, Okinawa, comedy, violence
Annotation : 
A slightly longer version of the piece that originally appeared in 
Italian.  Argues that Kitano's focus on borderline spaces (beaches, 
Okinawa, etc.) is a reflection of his general concern with liminality, 
especially the space between shots, between death and life, stillness and 
motion, Japan and the foreign, self and other.
