If you loved Vital, try A Snake of June

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 Shinya Tsukamoto, and they both carry the slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vital, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Snake of June is

Tokyo, humid early summer, the sound of rain. A counselor receives lewd Polaroids in the mail, her quiet life upended. Forced to submit to a blackmailer's bizarre demands, she finds herself drawn to his world. Tsukamoto’s erotic thriller dares to locate beauty in the perverse.
