If you loved High School Teacher: Maturing, try Rope and Skin
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 Shōgorō Nishimura, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to High School Teacher: Maturing, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Rope and Skin is
Yakuza without honor. A retired gambler returns to her old gangland stomping grounds after the boss is murdered. She vows revenge and recruits a crew, but gets captured by the rival gang. A vivid, nasty, and forgotten corner of pinky violence.
