If you loved Thirst for Love, try I Am Waiting
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 Koreyoshi Kurahara, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Thirst for Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What I Am Waiting is
Yokosuka. Night. A lone neon sign sputters. Ex-pug reluctantly drawn into a demimonde: a hostess, a gangster's moll. She yearns to flee the yakuza's grasp. He is her only option. An early, brutal Nikkatsu Noir.
