Mr. Ogata lives a complicated life: he's is a pornographer making two skin flicks per day and trying

to stay beneath the radar screen of the local mob; he deeply loves his ailing wife Haru who's

cursed by the restless spirit of her dead first husband; he also has a mistress, a step-son who wants

to go to university, and a step-daughter entering adolescence. He lusts after his step-daughter, and

he asks Haru if he can marry her. Haru agrees to his plan, signs over her business to him, and a

crisis ensues when Ogata uses her nest egg to buy equipment so he and his pals can set up their

own film processing lab. Surreal images and events weave their way into Ogata's life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Branded to Kill 1967 directed by Seijun Suzuki

branded.jpg

 

The film's story centers on Hanada, a.k.a. "No. 3 Killer," the third-best hit man in Japanese

organized crime. Near the top of his game, his fortunes change when he encounters Misako, a

mysterious, death-obsessed woman who brings him a particularly difficult mission. In a famous

moment indicative of the film's eccentric sensibility, a butterfly lands on his gun's sight at the exact

moment he pulls the trigger, causing him to miss the shot. This failure means that the killer

becomes the target, and must run for his life from his former employers, and the mysterious "No. 1

Killer." While the film does contain some spectacular action sequences, the story is played less as a

suspense thriller than as a surrealistic, psychosexual nightmare, filled with grotesque imagery and

strange touches, from Hanada's fetish for the smell of boiling rice, to Misako's use of a dead bird's

corpse as a rear-view mirror decoration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion 1972 directed by Shunya Ito

FILM_Wilentz.jpg

 

After being cruelly set up and deceived by Sugimi (Natsuyagi Isao), a conniving and crooked

detective she had whole-heartedly fallen in love with (and subsequently lost her virginity to...),

Matsushima Nami's desire for revenge knows no bounds. Her failed attempt at stabbing Sugimi on

the steps of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters results in her doing hard time in a female

prison run by sadistic and horny male guards. To Sugimi's surprise, Matsushima refuses to testify

against him and his connections to the mob, and now the sheer fact that she knows such secrets

makes her a liability. So Sugimi and the Japanese mafia orchestrate a plan whereby Matsushima

will succumb to an "accidental" death in prison. They enlist the help of Kagiri, another female

inmate with ties to both Sugimi and the mafia, thus their formidable plan is quickly set in motion.

Little do they realize, however, how hotly Matsushima's desire for revenge burns within her.
