「Origins of the colloquial term」首　Dan Knightonさんの映画レビュー（感想・評価）

Kubi is the perfect pairing to Shogun, featuring part of the story of the TV series and some of the same characters with their original names. It’s among the most ambitious Japanese historical productions in recent memory, perhaps since Sekigahara. Based on Kitano’s novel, he balances Japan’s feudal history with his own career achievements. A bloody and stylish look at Japan’s fascinating past.
