If you loved The Oil-Hell Murder, try Gate of Flesh
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 Hideo Gosha, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Oil-Hell Murder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gate of Flesh is
Tokyo Drifters without irony. A group of sex workers in occupied Japan struggle to survive, pooling their earnings to open a dance club. Director Gosha's eye for period detail and widescreen compositions elevates this tale of resilience.
