Probably the greatest of all of Shohei Imamura's portraits of indomitable women: a single parent triumphs over her stalker.
The toughest and most rousing of all of Imamura's portraits of indomitable women. Sadako is working as a maid in Sendai when she is sexually assaulted by an intruder, who returns again and again, claiming to be deeply in love with her. She finally agrees to flee to Tokyo with him, but nothing works out as expected... Precise, sardonic social observation with a sting in the tail.
