Candlestick
Keisuke, a former detective, answers a cryptic call: "Do you remember the candle? It's still burning." Ten years after a botched operation that cost his partner's life, he is dragged back into the world of Yakuza clans. No longer a hunter, he becomes a pawn in a power struggle where every move illuminates old wounds. The only clue is that very candle—a symbol of a bloody oath sworn in the past. His investigation twists into a personal vendetta, blurring the lines between justice and lawlessness, and the price of truth proves higher than he ever imagined.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Takashi Yamazaki constructs the narrative through contrast: a cold, almost documentary-like visual style is ruptured by flashes of Kabuki-theatre hyperviolence.
Anyone ready for a crime saga that interrogates collective guilt, where duty becomes more terrifying than any firearm, will find their match here. What lingers after the credits is not a solved mystery, but the weight of an ethical trap with no clean escape. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Gota Yonekura
Best Watched
In a downtown bar just after last call, with the city's pulse muted behind thick glass.
