In this cool, seductive jewel of the Japanese New Wave, a yakuza recently released from prison becomes entangled with a beautiful and enigmatic gambling addict. What initially appears to be a redemptive connection instead pulls him deeper into the criminal underworld. Bewitchingly shot and edited, with a fever-dream-like score by Toru Takemitsu, Pale Flower (Kawaita hana) is a pitch-black excursion into obsession and fate.
