If you loved High School Teacher: Maturing, try Rope and Skin
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 Shōgorō Nishimura, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to High School Teacher: Maturing, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Rope and Skin is
Yakuza without honor. A retired gambler returns to her old gangland stomping grounds after the boss is murdered. She vows revenge and recruits a crew, but gets captured by the rival gang. A vivid, nasty, and forgotten corner of pinky violence.
