If you loved Red Post on Escher Street, try Why Don't You Play in Hell?

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 Sion Sono, and they both carry the foreign gem, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red Post on Escher Street, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Why Don't You Play in Hell? is

Only Sion Sono would think to combine those particular ingredients. A group of rogue filmmakers gets caught up in the middle of a long-standing yakuza feud, which they decide to film. It may not be worth ending a gang war, but at least they got a movie out of it.
