If you loved Another Lonely Hitman, try Onibi - Feuerkreis
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 Rokurō Mochizuki, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Another Lonely Hitman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Onibi - Feuerkreis is
You're an ex-hitman, sprung from prison and hoping to stay out of trouble. But the new yakuza are soft, and your old talents are still sharp. When you fall for a pianist, her beauty sparks a fire. But the flame could burn everything to ash. Mochizuki's background informs the film's compressed violence, making space for a tender romance.
