If you loved Back to 1942, try The Puppetmaster

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 Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Back to 1942, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Puppetmaster is

You’re Li Tien-lu in 1940s Taipei, threading marionettes across a cramped stage while Japanese censors lurk in the back row. The poles move faster than the laws can keep up. A veteran director once shot in black and white on gelatin-silver streets that still smell of wet ink and gunpowder.
