This movie is basically a 70 minute rape scene interspersed here and there with flashbacks of riots and protests. The story concerns a lady who we find out is at the beach to jump off some rocks and commit suicide. She encounters an escaped perv and he accosts her until she somehow decides life is worth living and claims to have won something at the end. It's not so much a rape movie like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE though since this comes down slightly more on the artistic side of things and has less of an exploitation feel. It's also Japanese so although it somehow manages to have a happy ending this probably didn't win too many feminism awards. Then again the woman does seem pretty strong and triumphant at the end so maybe it would if it wasn't for the camera lingering on shots of a mostly naked young girl which take up a lot of the screen time. Probably a good watch for fans of naked Asian chicks and gratuitous zoom lens shots.
There's supposed to be an English dub of this that turns it into a way more goofy and straightforward 60's sexploitation flick thanks to Harry Novak but I've only seen the subtitled version.
