Viewing Notes
The pinku eiga that MUBI bought from Third Window (for cheap, apparently) are finally expiring and this is the only one I have yet to watch. This might be the best of the lot as it hones more toward Edo period drama + action with exploitation sprinkled on top, in color in some scenes. Not sure which of the Blu releases contains this movie but I wouldn’t mind owning this one.
