If you loved 1-Ichi, try Lorelei: The Witch of the Pacific Ocean
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to 1-Ichi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lorelei: The Witch of the Pacific Ocean is
1945 Pacific, late summer. A constant ping. Last-hope sonarman Shinichi must distinguish enemy from ally as Japan teeters toward surrender. His submarine I-507 carries a mysterious young woman, Lorelei, who can detect approaching threats. A late entry in the post-Godzilla wave of mournful, FX-heavy war allegories.
