DESCRIPTION:Part of the Japan Society's yakuza film series.\n\n<em>Ryuji</e
 m> is more than just a film\, it is the final testament of a  dying man\, 
 a young stage actor eager to find an interesting role on the  big screen. 
 His name is Shoji Kaneko. He likes writing and yakuza  cinema\, and choose
 s to write the story himself--the portrait of a young  yakuza who (followi
 ng the usual conceit) wants to leave the underworld\,  for the sake and lo
 ve of his wife and daughter\, after a long stint in  jail. A fragile film\
 , not unlike the performance of the lead  actor/writer\, who succumbed to 
 cancer one week after the film's release.&nbsp\;<em></em> An anti-noir fil
 m with  unusual sheen and clarity\, <em>Ryuji</em> is touched with breatht
 aking  moments of loveliness and hints of peace\, the blend of moral  brin
 ksmanship\, and restrained visuals.\n\n$12\, $9 for members\, students and
  seniors.
