Bill Hader recommended High and Low (1963) in Movies (curated)

"I love Kurosawa’s crime movies. The first half of High and Low is so well told, paced, acted, and shot—and it’s all in one room! Then you get into this fascinating police procedural where Toshiro Mifune and his family vanish and the cops take over. I mean, this movie has the “guy unloading crates while being questioned by the cops” scene that is in every Law and Order episode. Kurosawa’s influence is always being felt!"

This novel takes place in the near future, where a disease called Hayden's Syndrome has infected some of the population, leaving them bed-bound with a functioning brain. The main character is Chris, who has Haden's and is a new FBI agent, using an android, nicknamed a 'threep'.
This is definitely a police-procedural novel with a future twist. I liked the mix a lot. Scalzi's characterizations are always good, and this was no exception. I devoured the book in two days and promptly moved onto the sequel.

"High and Low is my personal favorite Kurosawa movie. I love everything about it: the chamber piece of the first half, the sprawling police hunt that follows, the fact that Toshiro Mifune’s character is so committed to making high-quality women’s shoes. And there are so many great moments throughout: the pink smoke, the train sequence, the amazing ending scene. I find it so stunning and effective, and I love the way the film gets at themes of class and social inequality in the form of such an exciting procedural crime thriller."
