If you loved The Limey, try Kafka

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Kafka has roughly 3.2× fewer votes than The Limey — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Kafka is

Prague, late fall. A single drop of blood. Bureaucrat Franz Kafka, investigating a death, finds himself swallowed by a shadowy conspiracy. Rebels stalk the city, hunted by an all-seeing, all-powerful system. Soderbergh's monochrome fever dream is not for the faint of heart.
