The Art of Self-Defense (2019)
After a brutal mugging, a timid accountant enrolls in a local karate dojo to overcome his fear and feel empowered. He finds a sense of belonging under the instruction of a charismatic but enigmatic sensei. As he rises through the ranks, he is drawn deeper into the dojo's bizarre, hyper-masculine, and increasingly violent world. He must confront the unsettling culture he has embraced and the true nature of the man he idolizes.
