If you loved Women of Whirlpool Island, try Blind Woman's Curse
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
Both films are directed by Teruo Ishii, and they sit in Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Women of Whirlpool Island, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Blind Woman's Curse is
A neon-lit backstreet. Winter breath steams around a broken bottle. Akemi’s blade flashes across a rival’s eyes. Black fur dabs crimson as the victim stands, unseeing, now led by something beyond blood. Teruo Ishii’s yakuza nightmare drifts like a ghost cat toward dawn.
