Rampaging Dragon of the North (1966)

After a period spent with the yakuza, a man returns to his fishing village only to discover that his father has been murdered on the orders of a local gang leader. Driven by a desire for revenge, he decides to take action while concealing his intentions from his mother, who has grown distant due to his absence. This remarkable yet underappreciated film by Fukasaku explores themes of family, community, and the complexities of fulfilling one's obligations to both.
