New on Blu-ray: TEN WOMEN IN BLACK / KUROI JUNIN NO ONNA (1961) - Limited Edition

Ten Women In Black 1961 New On Bluray Limited Edition

Product Description: A television executive's nine mistresses conspire with his wife to have him killed. When Miwako, one of the mistresses, tells him of the plot, he decides to fake his own death in front of them all. The women panic and deny that they were ever serious about the murder, while Miwako even takes her own life in remorse. But when they find out the man is still alive, they put their original plan back into action. Given complete creative freedom, Kon Ichikawa made this dark satire that is one of the undiscovered gems of Japan's cinematic Golden Age. Featuring a stunning cast of Daiei studio divas and striking monochrome photography by Setsuo Kobayashi (Blind Beast), this is a merciless dissection of social relations and gender roles in affluent post-war Japan, scripted by Natto Wada.
