Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion by Shunya Ito (Japan)



I've always had a soft spot for exploitation cinema. This 70's women-in-prison flick starring Meiko Kaji is nothing less than a gorgeous treat by Shunya Ito. Such great direction and cinematography. It's flashy and equally trashy. Watching it just further deepens my love for Meiko Kaji among other things. It's her eyes, dammit.

4/5 stars
