A man on his knees proposes to a woman in a park while someone plays Chopin in the background. It's a classic romantic movie moment, only On a String will carefully and calmly subvert every expectation it raises. First, the woman turns her supplicant down. Next, the movies switches the focus to the musician behind them, Isabel, played by writer and director Isabel Hagen. And while she appears to be performing on a violin, it's actually a viola, a bigger, less familiar instrument.

On its surface a behind-the-scenes featurette on John Wick: Chapter 4, Wick Is Pain turns out to be a revealing look at the most influential action franchise in decades. Even hard-core fans will learn a lot about what has gone into the five features (so far) in the Wick universe. Coinciding with the release of Ballerina, Wick Is Pain is now available on streaming platforms.

Gisuke Watanabe (Kyozo Nagatsuka) leads an austere, almost spartan life in a rambling house filled with manuscripts and memorabilia. Cleaning, shopping, and cooking take up most of his time.
