If you loved Elegant Beast, try Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yūzō Kawashima, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Elegant Beast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District is
Breathless without Belmondo. A young couple start new jobs near Tokyo's red-light district, but temptation and money prove difficult. The director's cynical touch makes it a distinctly postwar melodrama.
