Sweatman summer, watched Takeshi Kitanos Violent Cop, excellent movie. It's about a violent cop and bumbling Yakuza, hah. Plot isn't important, stoic violence and poetic images. Amazing how great these japanese cinematographers are, even on some V-cinema where budgets were very low the cinematography is better than in Hollywood.
Then another sweatman film, truly sweaty: Saigon with Willem Dafoe when he was young, not a very good movie but great as what it is, violent exploitation-style cop movie made with a mediocre budget. Everywhere looks very 80s, not 60s or 70s where it's supposed to be set.
Then another Willem Dafoe movie, Inside that was advertised as a Ballardian film, quite rare description nowadays. Well it kind of was, man gets locked inside a luxury high-rise apartment and has to survive. Sadly it wasn't that good, mostly just Dafoe doing stuff that leads nowhere. Still, worth a watch because the apartment was nice and it looks good, and Dafoe is great.
