If you loved Lesson in Murder, try The Blood of Wolves

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 Kazuya Shiraishi, and they both carry the devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lesson in Murder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Blood of Wolves is

Hiroshima, 1988. A cigarette burn. Paired detectives, one haunted by whispers of dirty allegiances, track a vanished loans employee. Gangland feuds ignite. Violent and stylish neo-noir.
