I'm after some new (to me) Japanese oddities.. along the lines of: House, Survival style 5+, Tetsuo, Robo Geisha, Symbol, Big Man Japan, Happiness of the Katakuris, R99, R100....etc

Love some Asian horror too.. particularly Indonesian and Korean. I think the Chinese film Moon Man is well worth a watch too. Great wtf kinda fun

You seen that Takashi Miike movie Gozu?

About a gangster who’s slowly going insane

I've been recommended some old ones like rashomon, but still haven't watched that.

Some early 2000s ones are great like zatoichi & battle royale.

If Japanese animation is your thing I'd recommend the red turtle, that's a French and Japanese collaboration.

-an incredible film I think.

Rashomon is great! Odd if you don't know it's 4 people giving their version of seeing a murder. One to chew over with others after as to what you think happened.

Seven samurai is epic,got that on dvd still!

I saw the devil is one of my favourite films.

Memories of murder, the man from nowhere and the handmaiden are also good Korean films
