If you loved Tezuka's Barbara, try The Legend of the Stardust Brothers
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 Makoto Tezuka. If that's the register that drew you to Tezuka's Barbara, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Legend of the Stardust Brothers is
A boy-band origin story so niche it invented its own subculture. It’s the tale of two inept would-be idols plucked by a morally flexible producer who turns them into an overnight sensation, with their superfan riding along for the spectacle. The film itself is practically a bootleg artifact, gleefully rough around the edges.
