Carly Rae Jepsen wants to party in Versailles. At least that’s how she kicks off her dreamy new single “Versailles” off her newly released, highly anticipated double album Day and Night. “We’ll go all night just to feel / Just to feel something / And then we’ll lose our heads / For the people we’ve forgotten / Marie Antoinette but modern / Running naked through the garden just to feel alive,” she sings on the song’s opening verse.

The first in a planned series of international sequels, Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo gets things off to a mostly inauspicious start, despite enlisting the magnetic Shun Oguri as the latest incarnation of the seedy, morally hollow detective to whom the films owe their title. It’s closer in terms of plot machinations to Abel Ferrara’s 1992 original with Harvey Keitel than to Werner Herzog’s wildly eccentric 2009 follow-up, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, a snug fit for Nicolas Cage’s gonzo extremes. But that doesn’t mean the choppy narrative ever gathers much steam. What’s surprising is that prolific Japanese cult director…
