If you loved Yakuza Ladies, try Heat Wave
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

What Heat Wave is
You're stuck in the cycle of gambling debts that killed your father. But a local boss offers a way out. Gosha's final film is a moody crime drama with the pacing of a lost memory.
