If you loved Star of David: Beauty Hunting, try Orgies of Edo
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theyboth carry the body horror, sexy mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Star of David: Beauty Hunting, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Orgies of Edo is
A Kyoto pleasure quarter at height of Genroku gold, silk sliding against a geisha’s wrist. Three women drawn into pleasure houses where pleasure is a blade. First, a courtesan tricked into a mirrored cell. Second, a mistress locked inside a cedar chest. Third, a nun’s forbidden dance with a blind swordsman. Teruo Ishii’s Edo under silk and blood, the camera licking wounds like lacquer.
