Amnesia, trauma, and 70s Japanese suburbia collide in 68 minutes of fever-dream melodrama.
A female high school teacher suffers from amnesia after being attacked by several men. She is married and has a happy family life, but an incident from the past haunts her regardless of her memory loss.
Acting
Junko Miyashita's glazed, hollow-eyed dissociation carries the whole film.
Cinematography
Gritty 16mm textures that reek of vinyl wallpaper and desperation.
Director
Shinichi Shiratori
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
'Pink film' was industrial-grade genre cinema in 1970s Japan—government-subsidized, theatrically released, and technically required to alternate sex and plot every ten minutes.
Director Shinichi Shiratori was a Nikkatsu studio workhorse who made over 40 films in eight years; this was his grungy indie period before returning to mainstream Roman Porno.
