If you loved Der Aal, try Schweine, Geishas und Matrosen
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Aal, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Schweine, Geishas und Matrosen is
You hustle scams near the U.S. naval base at Yokosuka with your girl. But rival gangs fight over the spoils. Imamura's early, frenetic style leaves one both exhausted and exhilarated.
