If you loved Blues Harp, try For Love's Sake

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Takashi Miike, and they sit in Drama / Music / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blues Harp, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What For Love's Sake is

Even a low-budget yakuza musical couldn’t resist star-crossed revenge and love at first sight. Desperate to repay a debt, shambolic teen Makoto tumbles into Tokyo’s red-light romance, colliding with the embarrassing purity of Ai and the stares of every interested party. At least the karaoke scenes forgot to judge the viewer.
