If you loved Lady Yakuza 1 - La pivoine rouge, try Jeu Présidentiel
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 Lady Yakuza 1 - La pivoine rouge, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Jeu Présidentiel is
Ginza, nighttime. A ringing telephone. A yakuza godfather sickens, gambling rackets hang in the balance. Loyalists angle for succession. One stoic lieutenant declines to play politics. Enjoyed best alongside Fukasaku's contemporaneous Battles Without Honor and Humanity cycle.
