If you loved Lágrimas en la melena del león, try Flor pálida
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the outsider, slow burn mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Lágrimas en la melena del león, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Flor pálida is
Shinoda's film seems to ask: what if film noir, but make it *Japanese*? Muraki, a yakuza newly released from prison, becomes entangled with a mysterious young woman, Saeko, who draws him into a dangerous world of gambling and violence. It's a stylish but affectless study in postwar anomie.
