If you loved Shuffle, try 1/2 Man

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, and they both carry the raw, surreal mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Shuffle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What 1/2 Man is

This is Spinal Tap without the jokes. Einstürzende Neubauten tours Japan in 1985, and Gakuryu Ishii documents their industrial noise. It's a singular record of a singular band.
