Part the Keiko Sato spotlight on MUBI featuring a few early examples of pink films. Wouldn’t classify this as even a traditional pinku as it is really a gangster flick shot like an avant-garde film with short bursts of nudity sprinkled across the runtime. In fact, the sex/nudity aspect is such a small part of this movie. Most of the film centers around this anti-hero Sho who wants to rescue a young woman from the underground filmmakers exploiting her.
Fascinating film to view bc of the avant-garde approach. The b&w photography and jazz score also add to this. would be a cool movie to remake now with Asano Tadanabu in the lead. Also use the the more literal translation of Dutch Wife of the Wasteland for the title.
