	Kids Return - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kids Return is a 1996 movie written and directed by Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano.
		The film was made directly after Kitano recovered from a motorcycle accident that left one side of his body paralyzed.
		At the time of its release it was his most successful film yet in his native Japan, which until then had been notedly much less enthusiastic about his films than international viewers.

		Kids Return is yet another film that cements Taksehi Kitano's reputation as one of the most gifted filmmakers working today.
		Ultimately, Kids Return is another critical hit for Kitano, a director who seems incapable of making a bad film (even his lesser works seem light years beyond most of the stuff out there).
		It would be easy to label Kids Return as a Japanese film about boxing (in much the same way it would be easy to label Sonatine a film about gangsters)—but you’d be wrong.

	KIDS RETURN review in THE iZINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Not unlike Kitano the two protagonists of Kids Return are, in their own way, outsiders and friends who hanker for a future as a stand up comic duo.
		Masaru is cocky, volatile and the more violent of the two, he thinks nothing of bullying younger kids or strapping on a macho sneer to appear older than he is. Shinji on the other hand is gentle, sensitive, a pacifist and and quietly broods.
		Kids Return takes on a tough topic and genre and goes some way towards lifting the lid on the underbelly of Japanese society.

		Plot Outline: Shinji is a quiet kid who spends the majority of his time wandering around town with his best friend Masaru, a trouble maker of sorts who entertains he and Shinji with immature pranks performed on their teacher, and spend their days trying to get into porno theaters.
		Kids Return is truly my favorite of Takeshi Kitano's films at the moment, and has been since I first saw it.
		Kids Return doesn't blend all of Kitano's familiar themes as perfectly as he did in Sonatine, but Kids Return will always be the more tangible film in my opinion.

	Dual Lens - Kids Return (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The society of Kids Return is poisoned by the idea of the instant success and the unredeemable failure.
		Kids Return’s restrictive society has been at the core of all of Kitano’s films and its adulation of outsiders is very similar to A Scene At The Sea.
		In Kids Return Kitano begins to explore stories through duality, a technique that he uses to great effect in Fireworks; but rather than a post-crash innovation, it’s a stylistic evolution, displaying the growing complexity of Kitano’s work.

	Koroshiya.co.uk - Kids Return
		Though more laid back than usual, like many of Kitano’s films, ‘Kids Return’ has it’s moments of brutal, unexpected violence, but they are important in the context of the story that is unfolding – there are no scenes of extras dying in bloody hails of bullets here.
		Unlike Kitano’s earlier output, where lengthy scenes of little dialogue are sometimes shot from a fixed viewpoint that often disrupt the narrative, the camera in ‘Kids Return’ is far more restless, particularly in the scenes shot in the boxing ring which have a visceral realism and brutality.
		To my knowledge it has never been given a theatrical release which is a shame because, for all it’s semi forgotten status, ‘Kid’s Return’ is something of a masterpiece and ranks amongst the very best of his films.

		With Kids Return, Takeshi Kitano has made yet another mesmerizing film that further cements his reputation as one of the five greatest filmmakers working today.
		This aesthetic works in all of Kitano's films-but in Kids Return it's almost vital to the story, becoming something more than just a technique or stylistic decision on the part of the filmmaker.
		It would be easy to label Kids Return as a Japanese film about boxing (in much the same way it would be easy to label Sonatine a film about gangsters)-but you'd be wrong.

		Takeshi Kitano's sixth film, Kids Return, is a cinematic tale about Shinji (Masanobu Ando) and Masaru (Ken Kaneko), two high-school dropouts, growing up in a Tokyo suburb.
		Kids Return follows the success of Violent Cop (1989), Boiling Point (1990) and Sonatine (1993), and continues to explore the themes across most of Kitano's films: male friendship and moral dilemmas.
		Kids Return once again demonstrates Kitano's uncompromising ethical stance, one that gained him international recognition.

		Even a year later, when Tony Rayns interviewed him in the summer of 1995, Kitano was still waiting for feeling and full muscular co-ordination to return to the right side of his face and wore a patch over his right eye because he couldn't yet close the eyelid, which is obvious in “Gonin”.
		But looking at his film after the accident, there are distinctive differences in his motifs - a more mature approach: “Kids Return” marks a phase, where Kitano not only spends all his art reflecting upon life, but also, by doing so, becomes the genius filmmaker we celebrate today.
		At times autobiographical, “Kids Return” is the most atypical film by Kitano.

		Kids Return is a reflective, highly entertaining coming-of-age story about two unconventional teenagers who try to cut a different path amidst the rigidly conformist culture of Japan.
		Students at a second-rate high school, Masuru and Shinji are half-hearted delinquents - cutting classes, performing stunts to distract the other students, and extorting money from their classmates to finance their trips to a neighbourhood coffee shop - struggling to find their way within a performance-oriented and often unforgiving society.
		Other films include Boiling Point, A Scene at the Sea, the celebrated cult hit "Sonatine", "Getting Any?" and "Fireworks" (winner of the Golden Lion at the 1997 Venice Film Festival).

		After being off the market for 15 years, a new series of the hugely successful stickers that entertained children in the mid-1980s with depictions of bodily functions will be released in August by The Topps Co.
		The new series finds plenty of new things to make fun of, like "Fartin' Martin," who gaseously propels himself on a Razor scooter, or the heavily pierced "Metallic Alec," who is pulled out of his shoes by a magnet.
		Garbage Pail Kids suffered a backlash of sorts from parents who thought gross-out humor was detrimental to children — something that probably spurred their popularity.
