If you loved La Loi Yakuza, try L'enfer des tortures
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Teruo Ishii, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Loi Yakuza, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What L'enfer des tortures is
Edo Japan. Skin as canvas. Tattooed women are luxury items. Two tattoo masters vie for supremacy as carnal art fetches a high price. One seeks only perfection; the other, total bodily inscription. Ishii's mondo-shock sensibilities and lurid imagination are not for all.
