If you loved The Warrior, try City of the Rising Sun
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. City of the Rising Sun ha circa 7.2× voti in meno di The Warrior — è una scelta di nicchia, non una raccomandazione mainstream. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Kim Sung-soo, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Warrior, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What City of the Rising Sun is
You’re a washed-up boxer picking fights you can’t win and picking pockets you’ll regret. Then Hong-ki drifts in with grease on his shoes and philosophy on his tongue and the two become visible only when the neon flickers. The director cuts from bruised knuckles to sunrise over Seoul like the city itself is holding its breath.
