Scarlet Prostitute: Stabbing

Scarlet Prostitute Stabbing , Akai Shfu Tsukisasu? is a 1981 Japanese pink film directed by Genji Nakamura. Considered one of the most important pink film makers of the 1980s, this is judged to be one of Nakamuras best films as an independent director. Nakamura later made films in Nikkatsus Roman Porno series, and then directed some of the earliest major gaythemed pink films for ENK.

In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia The Sex Films, Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser give Scarlet Prostitute Stabbing a rating of three andahalf out of four stars, writing that director Genji Nakamura handles the farfetched plot in a skillful way, evoking strong emotions out of the material. According to the Weissers, Nakamuras direction gives the film a highlevel tension punctuated by intricately drawn characters. The depiction of the blind prostitutes daily life is judged to be particularly effective. The final scene in which the prostitute masturbates at her boyfriends funeral is singled out as especially moving. Though this was a controversial scene at the time of the films release, the Weissers write that it has an erotic yet melancholy effect on the audience. Even the most calloused viewer will become mistyeyed.
