If you loved Onimasa: A Japanese Godfather, try Yakuza Ladies
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 Hideo Gosha, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Onimasa: A Japanese Godfather, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Yakuza Ladies is
You inherit a Yakuza clan when your husband gets a long sentence. But rival families smell blood in the water. Gosha's widescreen compositions bring operatic weight to a genre usually defined by quick cuts. One feels the weight of tradition.
