115. Brothel no 8 (1974)


Country: Japan
Directed by Kei Kumai

Directed rather with uninspired way, often melodramatic, with the actress who plays the journalist to not be in my opinion the right one for the role, still the movie of Kei Kumai is an interesting moment in the history of the Japanese cinema. The story is captivating- once more about a girl who forced to prostitution- some moments are powerful, the feminist point of view really impress, the emotions that transferred from the heroes of the film to the viewers are genuine. Moreover the movie , even without to go very deep, exposes the hypocrisy and cruelty of society, how rotten were the ethics that used as the base for the creation of the modern Japanese state
