If you loved First Love, try Fudoh: The New Generation
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Fudoh: The New Generation has roughly 4.5× fewer votes than First Love — 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 Takashi Miike, and they sit in Action / Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to First Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Fudoh: The New Generation is
A late-night karaoke booth rings with teenage laughter. A father presses a knife to his son’s throat. The boy who escapes swears vengeance in a classroom of daggers and diagrams. The sons return with younger knives.
