If you loved Elegant Beast, try Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District
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 Yūzō Kawashima, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Elegant Beast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District is
Breathless without Belmondo. A young couple start new jobs near Tokyo's red-light district, but temptation and money prove difficult. The director's cynical touch makes it a distinctly postwar melodrama.
