If you loved Graveyard of Honor, try Hokuriku Proxy War
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Hokuriku Proxy War has roughly 4.5× fewer votes than Graveyard of Honor — 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 Kinji Fukasaku, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Graveyard of Honor, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hokuriku Proxy War is
You represent a yakuza family muscling into a new territory. Alliances form in the shadows, betrayals multiply. But the old guard refuses to yield. Fukasaku films this chapter with a documentary eye. The landscape reflects the moral chill.
