Big Time Gambling Boss(1968)

Description

As machinations take place to install a new leader, clan honour and loyalties are severely tested when the rightful leader is released from jail, resulting in an increasingly violent internal strife. An atmospheric tale of gangland intrigue from the writer of Battles Without Honour and Humanity starring Tomisaburo Wakayama, (Lone Wolf and Cub) Big Time Gambling Boss is one of the all-time classics of the yakuza genre. Paul Schrader called it the richest and most complex film of its type, while novelist Yukio Mishima hailed it as a masterpiece.
