Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is proto-pinky violence—made before the genre got its name in 1970, but containing all its obsessions: female criminality, prison torture, doomed romance.
Yōko Mihara was Ishii's muse and Nikkatsu's secret weapon; her 'queen bee' archetype here directly influenced Meiko Kaji's later prison films.
