If you loved I Hate But Love, try The Warped Ones

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 Koreyoshi Kurahara, and they both carry the outsider mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to I Hate But Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Warped Ones is

You're a just-released JD hunting the reporter you blame. Your rage fixates on the man's girlfriend, and then a petty crime escalates. The streets become an existential proving ground. Kurahara's early New Wave style is a Molotov cocktail, thrown at the staid studio system. The film vibrates with nihilism.
