(aka "Jitsuroku onna kanbetsusho: sei-jigoku" or "True Story of Woman Condemned: Sex Hell" or "Sex Hell")
directed by Kôyû Ohara
Japan 1975
Set up to take the fall in a
medical malpractice case by her doctor lover (Kôji Yashiro,
THE HUNTER'S DIARY) - who had impregnated the
patient! - Mayumi (Hitomi Kozue, OFFICE LADY DIARY:
POACHING) is in no mood to make friends in the juvenile
hall where female prisoners are kept until their court
dates. She runs afoul of her cell's queen bee (Meika Seri,
STREET OF JOY) and is given the "plucked chicken treatment"
(think about it for a moment), but holds her own against her
cellmates including baby-killing prostitute Rie (Tatsuya
Hamaguchi, THE VANITY OF THE SHOGUN'S MISTRESS) and
underage prostitute/crime of passion killer Harumi (Maya
Hiromi, NUNS THAT BITE), not to mention a number of
corrupt authority figures. |

Comments |
Impulse Pictures presents this Nikkatsu production in a single-layer, progressive, anamorphic transfer that seems faithful to a degree of softness found in scope films of this budget while nicely delineating detail in sequences lit with blood-red gels as well as the darker interior scenes. The Dolby Digital mono track has some hiss, but has been cleaned without any annoying digital artifacts.
There is no accompanying trailer. Jasper Sharp's liner notes inform us about the dearth of women-in-prison movies in Japanese exploitation; don't worry, he informs us that a glut of Japanese nunsploitation makes up for it. |
