Turtle Vision
1991, dir. Hisayasu Satô
A traumatized young woman (Kiyomi Itô) grows into a cynical and vengeful adult who unleashes her carnal—and often bloodthirsty—rage on the random men who court her. Meanwhile, a professional cameraman (Kôichi Imaizumi) working for an unknown shadowy outfit is tasked with shooting covert footage of sexual acts around the city.
Filmmaker Hisayasu Satô updates the tropes of the standard “rape and revenge” drama for the 90s with his classic pink film Turtle Vision, injecting the narrative with his usual obsessions with voyeurism and urban malaise.
New 2K restoration by Vinegar Syndrome.
