Muraki, a hardboiled Yakuza gangster, has just been released from prison after serving a sentence for murder. Revisiting his old gambling haunts, he meets Saeko, a striking young upper-class woman who is out seeking thrills, and whose presence adds spice to the staid masculine underworld rituals. Muraki becomes her mentor while simultaneously coping with the shifts of power that have affected the gangs while he was interred.
Pale Flower is a stylish and seriously cool film that takes place in the city's underworld among dangerous yakuza thugs that all have one common passion: playing cards. Beautifully shot, and the bright white mixed with the pitch black is mesmerizing.
Genre: Crime/Thriller.
