If you loved August in the Water, try Electric Dragon 80000V
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 Gakuryu Ishii, and they both carry the atmospheric, foreign gem, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Fantasy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to August in the Water, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Electric Dragon 80000V is
You channel pent-up rage into amplified guitar riffs. You fight in the streets. But a rival emerges, fused with technology and warped spirituality. Ishii's punk vision, shot in black and white, thunders. It leaves one wondering if fury can be a path to peace.
