If you loved The Blue Light, try Big Time Gambling Boss
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 / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Blue Light, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Big Time Gambling Boss is
Ginza, nighttime. A ringing telephone. A yakuza godfather sickens, gambling rackets hang in the balance. Loyalists angle for succession. One stoic lieutenant declines to play politics. Enjoyed best alongside Fukasaku's contemporaneous Battles Without Honor and Humanity cycle.
