About

In the shady black markets and bombed-out hovels of post–World War II Tokyo, a tough band of prostitutes eke out a dog-eat-dog existence, maintaining tenuous friendships and a semblance of order in a world of chaos. But when a renegade ex-soldier stumbles into their midst, lusts and loyalties clash, with tragic results. With Gate of Flesh, visionary director Seijun Suzuki delivers a whirlwind of social critique and pulp drama, shot through with brilliant colors and raw emotions.
This postwar noir trades typical detective tropes for the visceral, claustrophobic reality of Tokyo's black market streets. Amidst the rubble, a sudden influx of masculine violence shatters the fragile social codes maintained by a circle of resilient women.
