If you loved Cyber City Oedo 808, try Wicked City - La città delle bestie
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and they both carry the neon soaked, raw mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cyber City Oedo 808, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wicked City - La città delle bestie is
The neon rain slicks the demon port’s fire escapes. Taki’s revolver clicks empty once per exhalation. Maki’s shadow unspools into living ink at every turn. Two cops guard a treaty courier whose pulse lures assassins from the Black World. The city stinks of sulfur and syrup. Their duty begins as distrust ends. Kawajiri’s 1987 cyber-noir slices genres like cheap synth.
