Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon is fantastic.
The first time I saw that movie, it messed with my head. Definitely worth a watch.
If you liked Squid Game, consider Oldboy
Squid game is Korean and I saw clips of that but could never get into it as It didn't interest me at all
It also feels like the internet over-hyped squid game past what it originally was
It was good, but I don't ever want to watch it again. Same for Oldboy. And I'm not in for season 2.
I'm aware it's Korean but I stand by my comparison.
Casshern (the 2004 live film not the original anime)
I think I saw "One Cut of the Dead" with subtitles on a plane, so I assume subtitles are an option. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7914416/
I didn't expect to like it, but ended up liking it by the end of the movie.
e......maybe there are some probability that Japanese movie is famous for tokyohot
