If you loved Snakes and Earrings, try The Blue Light

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 Yukio Ninagawa, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Snakes and Earrings, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Blue Light is

October, a fluorescent sign buzzes above a sliding door. A boy rinses dishes while his brother-in-law stumbles up the stairs. The brother-in-law’s hand finds a girl’s shoulder; the boy’s grip tightens around a kitchen knife.
