Blue Film Woman is an astonishing example of full colour and widescreen pinku eiga - a highly stylised hotbed of sex and violence, the two elements often coinciding to uncomfortable effect. Kan Mukai's morality tale sees a family brought to its knees in sexual servitude to repay their financial debts. Revenge comes when their daughter, having turned to prostitution, blackmails the family nemesis with a secretly shot tryst.
