Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pale Flower is a 1964 film from Japan directed by Mashiro Shinoda.It's a film noir about a yakuza hitman named Muraki. Muraki has just gotten back after a three year prison term for killing a man—and not for the yakuza, either; Muraki killed that guy because he wanted to and he enjoyed it. Muraki finds himself back with his gang, the Funada gang. Funada has just made peace with his rival, Yasuoka, and the members of the Funada gang don't seem to be doing much more than sitting around gambling, mostly playing the Japanese card game hanafuda.At one of these illegal hanufada games Muraki meets the mysterious, alluring Saeko. Saeko is a stylish young woman, apparently of an upper-class background, who loves gambling. In fact she's obsessed with gambling and with thrill-seeking of all sorts. Muraki has a girlfriend, Shinko, who regards him with doglike devotion, but he is powerfully drawn to Saeko and she to him. Their mutual obsession and Saeko's need for thrills lead to terrible consequences.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Pale Flower / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: A most odd subplot with Muraki and Jiro the rival Yasuoka yakuza. Jiro tries to kill Muraki in a bowling alley, because once upon a time Muraki killed his buddy. He fails. This violated the peace agreement between the Funada and Yasuoka gangs, so Jiro apologizes by, uh, severing his finger and giving it to Muraki (see Yubitsume below). Afterwards, they're buddies. At the end when Muraki knows he's about to go back to jail, he gives his coat to Jiro, the severed finger still inside in a box. | |

Chiaroscuro | |
| Pale Flower / int_75e2bf23 | comment |
Chiaroscuro: The movie is shot in black and white and almost all of it is shot at night, and usually indoors. Dramatic contrasts between light and darkness are found throughout. The various hanufada games in windowless smoky rooms are good examples, as is the scene where Muraki is chasing after Yoh down a dark alleyway. | |

The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In: It does when Yoh flings a knife at Muraki, and the knife lands in a post. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Shinko has an admirer, an earnest young man who wears glasses and wants to marry her. But she only has eyes for Muraki, who doesn't seem to care about her at all except as a booty call. | |
