The Yakuza (1975) Robert Mitchum
neo-noir gangster film directed by Sydney Pollack
Written by Leonard Schrader, Paul Schrader, and Robert Towne.
"The Yakuza portrays the clash of traditional Japanese values during Japan's transition from the US occupation to economic success in the early 1970s. The story's themes are concepts of moral indebtedness and obligation, loyalty to family and friends, and sacrifice; Eastern and Western cultural values are contrasted, and Classical Japanese tradition versus the modern, Westernized, tradition of contemporary Japan.
Following a lacklustre initial release, the film gained a cult following."
