If you loved Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District, try Elegant Beast

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 Yūzō Kawashima, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Suzaki Paradise: Red Light District, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Elegant Beast is

You rent cheap rooms to bored housewives and run errands in neon nightlife. Your son has lifted cash from the family safe and the walls hum with blackmail. A director’s hand lingers on a close-up of a single cigarette burning itself out.
