Description

In this cool, seductive jewel of the Japanese New Wave, a yakuza, fresh out of prison, becomes entangled with a beautiful yet enigmatic gambling addict; what at first seems a redemptive relationship ends up leading him further down the criminal path. Bewitchingly shot and edited and laced with a fever-dreamlike score by Toru Takemitsu (Woman In The Dunes, Ran), this breakthrough gangster romance from Masahiro Shinoda (Samurai Spy, Double Suicide) announced an idiosyncratic major filmmaking talent. The pitch-black Pale Flower (Kawaita hana) is an unforgettable excursion into the underworld.

Una storia di Yakuza, di onore e lealtà.

Muraki, affiliato della banda Fusada, esce di galera dopo aver scontato tre anni per aver ucciso un membro della banda rivale Yasuoka. La situazione è molto cambiata, tra le due bande è in atto una tregua; nel frattempo è comparsa una nuova organizzazione, la Imai di Osaka. Muraki ritrova suo fratello e la sua donna, Furuta, ma nella bisca clandestina conosce Saeko, una misteriosa ragazza attratta dal rischio del gioco e non solo.
