Love and Crime (1969) Directed by Teruo Ishii 88 Films

[DukeTogo84]

The first Toei films coming from 88 has been announced. This is one of the best Teruo Ishii films and is pretty nuts. I hope these sell well for 88 and we can get many more Japanese films from them from the Toei vaults.

The film is about some of the most crazy crimes committed in Japan by women. Bloody sleazy film, that is one you won't forget.



Release date: 21st Jan, 2025

Japan's legendary "King of Cult" Teruo Ishii (Horrors of Malformed Men, Shogun's Joy of Torture) delivers four dramatized tales of real-life crimes of passion involving women across the ages in this grotesque anthology featuring the stories of the "Hotel Nihonkaku Murders", the notorious "poison wife" and last woman in Japan to be executed by beheading, Oden Takahashi, the brutal serial killer Yoshio Kodaira and the story of Sada Abe, the infamous castratice featured in Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses. 88 Films is proud to present this unflinching look at female pathology drawn from Japan's criminal casebooks for the very first time outside Japan.
