The trailer for the long-awaited historical epic from the legendary Takeshi Kitano called "Neck".
Мы already wrote about this project, which should be the last film in the career of the cult Japanese. Plans to film this film Beat Takeshi gestated for more than thirty years, researched the topic and wrote an entire book about the historical event that will be discussed in the film.
Initially, the main role was supposed to go to Ken Watanabe, but the filming schedule did not allow him to take part in the project. As a result, Kitano himself became the producer, screenwriter, director and leading actor.
Synopsis: The film takes place in the 16th century, when rival warlords fought for control of Japan. Lord Oda Nobunaga, seeking to control Japan, wages war against several clans when one of his vassals, Araki Murashige, rebels and promptly disappears. Nobunaga gathers his other retainers, including Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi, and orders them to capture the fugitive Murashige. With various thoughts, schemes and traps that his subjects come up with, they soon find themselves at a crossroads and in a difficult situation.

Synopsis: during his research, the main character noticed that the texture of the relics discovered during the excavation of the glacier is very reminiscent of the jade pendant he saw in one of his dreams. The artifact turns out to be so important that he and his team go on an expedition into the depths of the glacier and into their own past at the same time.
