If you loved Onimasa: A Japanese Godfather, try Yakuza Ladies
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Hideo Gosha, 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.
