ANGEL GUTS: NAMI (1979)

 Everything about this 3rd film in the ANGEL GUTS series is way better than 88's ANGEL GUTS: RED VERTIGO which is the only other one I've seen so far.  I don't think these movies are really related in any way except that the main character is named Nami in both and they're all taken from some dirty Japanese comic book about rape. This one is way more violent and has a lot of rape going on since our title character is a reporter writing a story on the topic.  It's also a lot more memorable and has a really stylish look as an added bonus.  The highpoint, or low-point depending on what type of a human you are, involves a woman getting sliced open so her attacker can look at her intestines and then, as if that's not enough, he proceeds to rape her in a formaldehyde-filled tank which also has some dead bodies floating in it. I'm not sure why a hospital would have decaying corpses floating around in a tank down in their basement but it does make for one hell of a nasty set-piece and shocking scene. It all culminates with a strange and hallucinatory ending that doesn't make a whole lot of sense but besides that I would say check this out for some extreme, offensive and even slightly artsy Asian cinema.
