If you loved Yakuza's Law, try Tokugawa - Das Freudenhaus von Nagasaki
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 Teruo Ishii, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Yakuza's Law, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tokugawa - Das Freudenhaus von Nagasaki is
Edo Japan. Skin as canvas. Tattooed women are luxury items. Two tattoo masters vie for supremacy as carnal art fetches a high price. One seeks only perfection; the other, total bodily inscription. Ishii's mondo-shock sensibilities and lurid imagination are not for all.
