If you loved The Flower and the Angry Waves, try Tokyo Knights

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 Seijun Suzuki, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Flower and the Angry Waves, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tokyo Knights is

You inherit a yakuza clan after your father's sudden death. But rival gangs smell weakness. Suzuki's early style mixes color pops with genre film noir. One wonders if his aesthetic ever came from a place of sincerity.
