Oh London area readers of Twitch are you in for such a treat on the 24th of September, oh yes, yes, yes you are. Our pals at Cigarette Burns Cinema will be presenting an all-night screening of the Japanese Pinku violence benchmarks that are Shunya Ito's Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, Female Convict Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 and Female Convict #701 Scorpion: Beast Stable (gosh is that a mouth full).
Taking place at CB's regular hangout, the Rio Cinema in Dalston, the event will be hosted by Midnight Eye editor and Japanese film expert, Jasper Sharp. And bonus (!) the nifty artwork on display to your left will be available at the show on a t-shirt. Take a gander at the very danceable trailer made especially for this screening below. Further details at Cigarette Burns Cinema's website.

So tempting.
Is this the origin of Madame Scorpion from Love Exposure? Sure as hell looks like it I just ordered the the dvd from amazon I can't wait!
Sounds great!
I love these movies. Meiko Kaji is so intensely charismatic and beautiful, I can only imagine what it must be like to watch her on the big screen.
