If you loved Scent of a Spell, try XX: Beautiful Prey
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 Toshiharu Ikeda. If that's the register that drew you to Scent of a Spell, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What XX: Beautiful Prey is
A neon Tokyo alley, summer rain on wet cathedrals of glass. A policewoman slides a photo across a black-lacquer desk—naked flesh arranged like a puzzle. Her badge pulls her into basements of leather and chain. Two suspects pulse under glass: a sadist who speaks in riddles, a masochist who smiles while counting bruises. Like a 90s erotic thriller painted in Yohji Yamamoto shadows.
