Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Seijun Suzuki, and they both carry the outsider, playful, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fighting Elegy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Flower and the Angry Waves is
You play a yakuza, in love with your boss's bride-to-be. You steal her away and run. But Tokyo offers few places to hide. Suzuki's preference for stylized sets overtakes any sense of realism. The film lingers on gestures.
