If you loved Bullet Ballet, try Killing
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 Shinya Tsukamoto, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bullet Ballet, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Killing is
You're a samurai farmer tilling soil in a sunbaked village, your blade rusting by the door, when a conscript's draft notice flutters down from the hills. The rice paddies won't save you now. Tsukamoto shoots it like a fever dream of duty and dirt, 16mm grain pulsing under summer heat.
