If you loved The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker, try The Glorious Team Batista

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

What The Glorious Team Batista is

Osaka, a scalpel's glint, winter. A surgical team attains godlike status; a perfect string of complex heart procedures. Then, three bodies in rapid succession. An outside investigator, a specialist in minds not bodies, arrives to find out why. One for fans of Japanese hospital procedurals.
