If you loved Judge!, try Character

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 Akira Nagai, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Judge!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

foreign gem

What Character is

Snow falling, sketchbook open. A would-be manga artist lacks the killer instinct, until stumbling upon a murder scene. He copies the crime in panels. Success arrives, and so does the suspect. Nagai’s thriller echoes Kurosawa’s *High and Low*.
