After being cruelly set up and deceived by Sugimi, a detective in cahoots with the mob with whom she was whole-heartedly in love, Matsushima’s desire for revenge knows no bounds.
Shunya Ito directs this 1972 Japanese action, crime, and thriller, a stylish entry in the women-in-prison and revenge tradition. Betrayed and entrapped by a corrupt detective she once trusted, the wronged protagonist channels her ordeal into a fierce, single-minded pursuit of vengeance. The film is noted for its bold visual style, mixing stark realism with striking, almost surreal imagery. The tone is grim, defiant, and visceral, foregrounding themes of injustice and resistance. Adult in nature, it carries a MagicMovieScore of 7.0 and appeals to fans of cult exploitation cinema and visually inventive genre filmmaking.
