As an actor he\u2019s a preternaturally calm, eternally impassive presence, billed as \u201cBeat\u201d; as a director, he\u2019s all about rhythm\u2014the long quiet lull before a storm of violence, the canny delivery of the ace comic. Watching Kitano\u2019s films, you learn to expect the unexpected, whether it\u2019s a swiftly-delivered chopstick into the brainpan or Kitano\u2019s radical shifts between bleak yakuza films, contemplative character pieces, and ventures into wistful comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Co-presented with the Japan Foundation<br \/>\nSpecial thanks to Kanako Shirasaki<\/p>\n<p>For the full schedule and tickets visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/metrograph.com\/series\/series\/47\/takeshi-beat-kitano\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/metrograph.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, November 17 to November 25, 2016 METROGRAPH No.7 Ludlow St., New York NY 10002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67974"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67976,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67974\/revisions\/67976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
