If you loved Jeu Présidentiel, try Lady Yakuza 1 - La pivoine rouge
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 Kōsaku Yamashita, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider, raw mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Jeu Présidentiel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lady Yakuza 1 - La pivoine rouge is
Kyushu dusk. A thrown die. Yano dead in an alley. His daughter Ryuko abandons her yakuza ties, seeking vengeance with a telltale wallet as her only clue. Years pass. A crimson peony blooms on Ryuko’s shoulder as she journeys across Japan, encountering gamblers both honorable and corrupt. Classic Toei revenge film with a welcome gender flip.
