Viewing Notes
One more in the XX: Utsukushiki series of Japanese exploitation flicks is Toshiharu Ikeda’s Beautiful Beast a.k.a. XX: Utsukushiki kemono (1995). This one involves a “beautiful” Chinese assassin seeking revenge on yakuza for the death of her sister. Of XX: Utsukushiki films I’ve seen recently, I enjoyed this one the least, which is to say I didn’t care for it much.
