PRODUCT INFORMATION
When smalltown girl Yuki (Hiroko Isayama from Woods are Wet) arrives in the big city of Tokyo, she soon falls into bad company. Falling under the spell of the swaggeringly cocksure Taku (Ichiro Araki from Nagisa Oshima’s Sing a Song of Sex), she advances from petty pickpocketing and pilfering from bookstores to covering for much more major misdemeanours. It is not long before she discovers the old adage is true – that there is no honour among thieves. Released early on in Nikkatsu’s Roman Porno erotic line of the 1970s, this steamy countercultural youth movie is the feature debut of cult Japanese action movie director Toru Murakawa (The Most Dangerous Game, The Resurrection of the Golden Wolf), shot by Shohei Imamura’s regular cinematographer Shinsaku Himeda (Pigs and Battleships, The Pornographers) from a script by one of the studio’s most prized filmmakers, Tatsumi Kumashiro.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
