pure cinema

Sex & Fury (Furyô anego den: Inoshika Ochô) (1973)
2 Stars

Japanese sexploitation flick that was clearly an inspiration for Kill Bill. Interesting to watch Reiko Ike fighting stark naked, but the rest of the soft porn is tame compared to R-rated films from the 80s or later. The throwaway Japlish dialogue is somewhere between hilarious and excruciating at times, especially when delivered in the heavily Swedish-accented English of soft-core queen Christina Lindberg (Kurisuchina Rindobaagu!). While the script and delivery is pure porn, the cinematography is actually quite slick, dominated by strong graphic closeups of Ike's wonderful face.
