If you loved Yakuza: Like a Dragon, try First Love

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 Takashi Miike, and they both carry the raw, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Action / Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What First Love is

Love is a many splendored thing, especially with gunfire. A young boxer meets a imprisoned sex worker in Tokyo. It all goes downhill from there, naturally.
