Lupin the IIIrd: Fujiko's Lie

Lupin the IIIrd: Fujiko's Lie (2019) is a sleek Japanese crime anime you can watch online on iFILM — a 58-minute neo-noir from director Takeshi Koike, set in the Lupin III universe.

Fujiko Mine, the femme fatale whose only loyalty is to her own desire, strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young boy whose late father stashed away a fortune. A cold-blooded killer is already on the kid's trail, and Fujiko is the one person standing in his way. Trouble is, you never quite know where her real interest lies until the final frame.

Part of Koike's stylish solo run on the franchise, following The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, it pairs angular hand-drawn artwork with a jittery jazz pulse. Lean, violent and gorgeous to look at — a tight hour of grown-up crime, not a film for kids. Stream Fujiko's Lie (2019) online on iFILM.
