If you loved Sasori – Den of the Beast, try Sasori – Scorpion
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Shunya Ito, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sasori – Den of the Beast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Sasori – Scorpion is
Tokyo stock exchange. Noon siren. A single, blood-red stiletto heel. Betrayed by a corrupt cop, Nami Matsushima becomes inmate #701, Scorpion, and quietly plots vengeance. Escape is only the first stage of her master plan. Ito’s pinky violence is a crucial bridge from Kaji Meiko’s outlaw-woman roles to early anime.
