If you loved Man Facing Southeast, try Swallowtail Butterfly
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
Theysit in Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Man Facing Southeast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Swallowtail Butterfly is
You wash up in a neon sluice called Yentown where the black market hums like a broken jukebox. A runaway foreign girl trades contraband secrets for shelter. Then the city’s corporate overlords mark her as stolen goods. Shunji Iwai observes the glow of cigarette lighters spelling rebellion before the neon ceases.
