If you loved The City of Violence, try Arahan
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 Ryoo Seung-wan, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The City of Violence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Arahan is
Downtown Seoul. An errant gust. A discarded paper cup skitters. Meek Officer Sang-hwan stumbles into a hidden war between rival factions of mystical martial artists. He is prophesied to be the savior. A wuxia parody for the post-Tarantino set.
