If you loved A Flame at the Pier, try Fleur pâle
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
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 A Flame at the Pier, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Fleur pâle 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.
