Tonight I'm watching three films.
Tokyo Pop (1988), Fran Rubel Kuzui, starring Carrie Hamilton, Yutaka Tadokoro, Michael Cerveris, Gina Belafonte, and Tetsurō Tamba. This is the Kino Lorber 35th Anniversary Blu-Ray which I got in their recent sale (I didn't post a haul for that). I've been wanting to see this.

Le Silence de la mer (1949), directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, is a war drama set in occupied France.

Finally, Voyagers (2021), directed by Neil Burger, starring Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp, Fionn Whitehead, Colin Farrell, Chanté Adams, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Viveik Kalra, Archie Renaux, Archie Madekwe, and Quintessa Swindell. It's a SF thriller that bombed.
As for Voyagers, the scene where the reasonable kid plays the video proving that Zac killed their elder, then Zac says he did it because the alien *not on the video* was inside that dude, is the perfect pre-COVID gaslighting example. Zac is a murderer and an unregulated psychopath. Guess what? Most of the people join Zac. But Zac loses in the end, according to Wikipedia. I haven't finished it but I am not sure Wikipedia is correct... lol
