Liquid Sky

Year: 1982
Director: Slava Tsukerman
Writers: Slava Tsukerman, Anne Carlisle
Rating: 9/10

The ultimate New Wave fetish b-movie; marred (or improved?) by the complete use of a Fairlight CMI for the soundtrack.

Hana-bi (Fireworks)

Year: 1997
Director: Takeshi Kitano
Writer: Takeshi Kitano
Rating: 9.5/10

Minimalist and heavily visual work that goes far beyond "cop drama".
