I heartily recommend the movie Pale Flower (1964) https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-pale-flower-1964 https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-pale-flower-1... > “Pale Flower" is one of the most haunting noirs I've seen, and something more; in 1964 it was an important work in an emerging Japanese New Wave of independent filmmakers, an exercise in existential cool.

For a wilder perspective, I like Takashi Miike. "Rainy Dog" is about a yakuza henchman whose boss had been killed. So he fled to Taiwan, and worked for triads as a contract killer. Because no other yakuza boss would have him, and his tattoos excluded him from mainstream society. Very tragic.
