If you loved Yakuza Law, try Inferno of Torture

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 Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Yakuza Law, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Inferno of Torture 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.
