If you loved Harmful Insect, try Dororo

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 Akihiko Shiota. If that's the register that drew you to Harmful Insect, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dororo is

A war-torn village in late spring, cicadas screaming. A mute thief watches from the shadows as a headless warrior gathers discarded limbs. Under a blood-red moon the two trade stolen swords and secrets. A Kurosawa-meets-Giger nightmare disguised as a samurai pulp.
