If you loved A Man, try Gukoroku - Traces of Sin
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Kei Ishikawa, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gukoroku - Traces of Sin is
The dormitory’s fluorescent hum, winter. Tanaka’s sister’s empty bunk, phone calls from jail. An editor assigns him a cold murder. The father’s tie, the mother’s spilled tea, the child’s unplayed piano keys. He digs through lies like broken glass until the family’s smiles peel back, sticky with rot. A Fassbender thriller with less punch than bruises.
