If you loved Zatoichi: The Last, try Shinjuku Swan

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

Theysit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zatoichi: The Last, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Shinjuku Swan is

You hustle as a scout in Tokyo's nightlife district, finding faces for hostess clubs. But a turf war erupts between agencies, pulling in gangs. Sono's camera glides through neon and shadows. What remains is a stylish fever dream.
