If you loved Fires on the Plain, try Bullet Ballet
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 Shinya Tsukamoto, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fires on the Plain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bullet Ballet is
Tokyo night. Neon smears the sidewalk. A man’s girlfriend hangs from a bare bulb, then vanishes; the room smells of burnt wire. He carves a hollow in the pavement with his shoes, hunting a weapon that might silence his own pulse. A decade before the bullet-returning films that followed.
