If you loved The Man with a Shotgun, try Youth of the 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 Seijun Suzuki, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Man with a Shotgun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Youth of the Beast is

Tokyo. Midsummer. A single, buzzing mosquito. Ruthless Daisuke arrives from nowhere, playing two rival gangs against each other. Blood floods the neon streets. Suzuki’s early noir efforts anticipate the later, wilder pop-art phase.
