If you loved Fires on the Plain, try Bullet Ballet
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 Fires on the Plain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bullet Ballet is
Tokyo night. Neon smears the sidewalk. A man’s girlfriend hangs from a bare bulb, then vanishes; the room smells of burnt wire. He carves a hollow in the pavement with his shoes, hunting a weapon that might silence his own pulse. A decade before the bullet-returning films that followed.
