If you loved Character, try Suzuki=Bakudan
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

What Suzuki=Bakudan is
Broken glass in the vending-machine aisle, 3 a.m. A disheveled Suzuki rattles off bomb coordinates from memory while cops pace outside. Feigned clairvoyance collapses into taunting hypnotic gaps.
