If you loved Electric Dragon 80.000 Volt, try August in the Water
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 Gakuryu Ishii, and they sit in Fantasy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Electric Dragon 80.000 Volt, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What August in the Water is
Tokyo seaside. Cicada rasp. A dropped ice cream. A beachside accident unleashes strange new powers in a young swimmer. Her changed body becomes a source of fear, fascination, and possible connection to cosmic forces. Gakuryu Ishii pivots, unexpectedly, toward shōjo manga's mystical preoccupations.
