Viewing Notes
Evening viewing included Toshiharu Ikeda’s sexploitation flick XX: utsukushiki emono a.k.a. Beautiful Prey (1996). Not really a pink film (too long) it’s more on the exploitative side with a fucked up housewife’s predilection for S&M and detectives caught up in the mystery surrounding her. Kei Marimura isn’t gravure model attractive but possesses plenty of sex appeal to make her seductress work. Not a bad watch from Asian Pulp Cinema.
