If you loved El león parado en el viento, try Blues Harp
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 Takashi Miike, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El león parado en el viento, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Blues Harp is
Takashi Miike directs, so you already know this is not your grandma's musical. Kenji, a young yakuza, finds his career ambitions complicated by a tender friendship with Chuji, a blues harmonica player in deep with the competition. It's sweet until the bullets start flying, which, of course, they do.
