If you loved The City of Lost Souls, try these.
01
02
Dead or Alive
Why this pick
Its hyperactive criminal sprawl, abrasive tonal shifts, and delirious bursts of action closely match the anything-can-happen momentum of The City of Lost Souls.
03
Rainy Dog
Why this pick
Another Miike tale of a Japanese gangster adrift abroad, trading the earlier film’s carnival chaos for a humid, alienated mood and tense criminal pursuit.
04
Full Alert
Why this pick
A ferocious Hong Kong crime thriller with fractured loyalties, desperate criminals, and harsh urban momentum; it shares Miike’s appetite for moral instability and explosive escalation.
05
Tokyo Drifter
Why this pick
Its stylised pop-art gangland world, romantic outlaw lead, and gleefully unreal shifts in tone anticipate the visual bravado and freewheeling genre play of Miike’s film.
