ABOUT THE FILM: In Japanese with English subtitles. In this cool, seductive jewel of the Japanese New Wave, a yakuza, fresh out of prison, becomes entangled with a beautiful and 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-dream-like score by Toru Takemitsu, this gangster romance was a breakthrough for the idiosyncratic Masahiro Shinoda. The pitch-black PALE FLOWER is an unforgettable excursion into the underworld. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films COUNTRY: Japan
