If you loved Blue Giant, try Death Billiards
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 Yuzuru Tachikawa, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blue Giant, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Death Billiards is
The neon flicker of an empty bar at midnight. Two strangers, one silvered beard, one ink-stained hands, lean over the emerald table. Queues click like metronomes before the first shot. A game of billiards begins—every ball struck carries a debt. Lives are the currency. A single, quiet instant from Masaaki Yuasa’s early palette, where shadows play stake for souls.
