If you loved Blackmail Is My Life, try Black Lizard
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kinji Fukasaku, and they both carry the neon soaked mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blackmail Is My Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Black Lizard is
A neon-lit Tokyo summer night. The chime of an antique clock. A jewel thief lures a gumshoe into a mirrored salon where the walls are stocked with stolen faces. The detective’s coat pockets fill with cryptic appointment cards while a sequined hostage listens through a porcelain teacup. This is the year the Japanese camera learned to wink—panavision parody starring one of Toei’s last great gangsters.
