Film Review: Firing The Lighter Gun (2023) by Kohei Sanada
Image
Kohei Sanada tells a triangle yakuza story in the aftermath of a nuclear accident that does not fall for the tropes of sentimentality. Being born near a power plant in Ishikawa prefecture himself, the director draws an austere picture of the life around the evacuation zone.
