Nyotai sanbashi

Director Teruo Ishii produced a series of very stylish black thrillers during the late 50s and early 60s, his film Nyotai sanbashi is a knockout. The prolific cult director creates an engrossing tale with his unique cinematic crime action style. Behind the glittering façade of the neon lit nightlife, a sordid world of illegal human trafficking is taking place. An undercover cop Yoshioka, infiltrates a prostitution ring at a glitzy Ginza nightclub... An excellent twisting highly atmospheric crime drama, one of exploitation, betrayal and romance follows the undercover man. A wonderful added bonus, accompanied with eye-catching nightclub entertainments and Nyotai sanbashi , displays possibly the best photomontage poster of its kind... Highly Recommended .
