I heartily recommend the movie Pale Flower (1964)

> “Pale Flower" is one of the most haunting noirs I've seen, and something more; in 1964 it was an important work in an emerging Japanese New Wave of independent filmmakers, an exercise in existential cool.
The killer turned himself in to police. You see this in old Yakuza movies, the perpetrator will stand and wait for police after the killing (for example, "Pale Flower").
Japan has very little crime and a 98% conviction rate, it's so civilized.
> a very pale and thin man with glasses parked his bicycle and walked into a police station in Fukuoka City’s Higashi ward carrying a large bag. He told the police there, “I’ve killed a man.”
