If you loved Fighting Elegy, try The Flower and the Angry Waves
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Flower and the Angry Waves has roughly 3.7× fewer votes than Fighting Elegy — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 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.
