If you loved Loved Gun, try Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Proxy War
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
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Loved Gun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Proxy War is
You're adrift in postwar Hiroshima, forming alliances. But old loyalties clash with new connections. The local yakuza war escalates. Fukasaku contrasts the characters' honorable aspirations with their dishonorable deeds. The film leaves you with a sense of moral ambiguity.
