If you loved Boiling Point, try Kids Return
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 Takeshi Kitano, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Boiling Point, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kids Return is
You loaf in Matsumoto, pulling schoolyard shakedowns. But expulsion arrives, and life forks: boxing gym or gangland. Shinji jabs; Masaru menaces. Soon enough, though, their choices land differently. Kitano's camera finds a quiet beauty in the banality of their downbeat destinies. It lingers.
