If you loved The Whistleblower, try Waikiki 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 Yim Soon-rye, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Whistleblower, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Waikiki Brothers is

Old-school bar band limps through one-night stands until saxophonist bolts. The trio rolls into the singer’s fading ’80s hometown, hunting gigs and ghosts of glory days, youthful romance and dead-end futures. Nostalgia’s the only encore.
