Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972) 10

Placed in a cell a few years before Blu-Rays appeared, Eureka’s DVD transfer still stands up,with the aesthetic of the image being kept,but the colour tone being presented nice and clean,along with the soundtrack remaining crisp.

I liked Meiko Kaji a lot in Lady Snowblood. Would really love to see this film too. Thanks for your rec, Dylan!

Hi AJ,I hope you are having a good weekend,and thank you for bringing Fires on the Plain (1959)to attention (and thanks for the YT link.) The descriptive review you posted makes Fires sounds extraordinary.

On the FPS,I think it is a trilogy you might enjoy,with each entry being made in a drastically different style from each other. Having picked up the set during the last Arrow sale,I'm crossing my swords that I get a chance to see Kaji in her third iconic film role/series.
