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 both carry the raw mood tag, 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.
