Incomparable with the two previous films that Creator/TakeshiKitano made (''Film/ViolentCop'' and ''Film/BoilingPoint''), ''A Scene At The Sea'' is the first movie which breaks with a lot of standards found in other films by the japanese filmmaker, mostly the fact that it isn't a crime/yakuza drama and that Kitano doesn't act in it. This movie also marks the beginning of a long series of collaborations between Kitano and Music/JoeHisaishi, who would go on to provide soundtracks for most of the movies made by Kitano during the 90s and the early 2000s.
