If you loved Labyrinth of Dreams, try Gojoe: Spirit War Chronicle
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 Gakuryu Ishii. If that's the register that drew you to Labyrinth of Dreams, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gojoe: Spirit War Chronicle is
You're Benkei, a warrior monk who swore off violence. But demons spill into your province, leaving a trail of bodies. He picks up his sword again. Ishii bathes ancient Japan in a lurid, comic-book hell. The film leaves one wondering whether any god can save humanity from itself.
