Viewing Notes
I loved this movie, a DVD that my friend Kristin loaned me. Part of the Japanese sub-genre of Pinky Violence (think tame softcore nudity crossed with gory, theatrical violence and you get the idea), Sex and Fury featured plenty of nudity, though no full frontal, and lots of over-the-top samurai violence!
Two of my favorite scenes were the naked bath house fight scene, where Reiko Ike’s character, Ochô Inoshika, is ambushed while taking a bath and fights the ensuing battle totally naked, splattering blood all over her naked self in the process; and an ambush that takes place on a train and involves nuns with switchblades!
A must watch!
