If you loved Bullet Ballet, try Vital
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 Shinya Tsukamoto, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bullet Ballet, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Vital is
Hospital room. Fluorescent hum. Textbooks. Amnesiac Hiroshi fixates on anatomy, enrolls in med school. A live classmate vies for his attention while Hiroshi fixates on the corpse he's tasked to dissect. Tsukamoto's clinical gaze implicates the viewer.
