Synopsis
From the master of postwar chaos comes a blistering triptych of crime, corruption, and collapse.
After the success of Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973–74), Fukasaku continued to refine his “jitsuroku” (true record) approach; a semi-documentary style of yakuza film inspired by real events, police files, and newspaper reportage.
These three titles, COPS VS THUGS, CROSS THE RUBICON!, and HOKURIKU PROXY WAR, all extend that gritty realism: handheld camerawork, frenetic editing, overlapping dialogue, and moral murk. They turn away from romanticized gangsters toward a chaotic, corrupt Japan of the 1960s-70s where cops, crooks, and politicians are virtually indistinguishable.
