If you loved Smashing the 0-Line, try Underworld Beauty
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 Seijun Suzuki, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Smashing the 0-Line, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Underworld Beauty is
Neon haze on late '50s backstreets, an electric piano hums. Former yakuza Miyamoto emerges with stolen diamonds clenched in his palm. A bullet wound’s scar still fresh on his fixer’s chest, Oyane’s knuckles split on the mahogany table already counting Miyamoto’s glitter again.
