Plot
Prostitutes in postwar Tokyo.
Sinekatalog’s take
Seijun Suzuki's colourful drama follows a gang of prostitutes in postwar Tokyo, bound by rules until a man disrupts them. Wild, stylised and bitterly funny, it mixes pulp energy with a raw view of survival.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
