If you loved An Eater, try Emotion

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

Both films are directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they both carry the surreal mood tag, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to An Eater, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Emotion is

Cityside, late summer. A child's skipping rope. Emi's double appears to her as an older girl's vision, a doppelganger in the adult world, maybe a vampire's thrall. Is any of it real? Obayashi's avant-garde origins are on full display.
