If you loved Escape from Japan, try Good-for-Nothing
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Escape from Japan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Good-for-Nothing is
You're a restless youth drifting through postwar Japan. You meet a woman tied to privilege, and she sees something worth saving in you. But the lure of easy money proves hard to resist. Yoshida's debut is pure Japanese New Wave. It leaves a hollow ache.
