If you loved City of Violence, try Arahan
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 Ryoo Seung-wan, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to City of Violence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Arahan is
Downtown Seoul. An errant gust. A discarded paper cup skitters. Meek Officer Sang-hwan stumbles into a hidden war between rival factions of mystical martial artists. He is prophesied to be the savior. A wuxia parody for the post-Tarantino set.
