Distributed internationally as The Hot Little Girl, Yasuzo Masumura’s Japanese exploitation classic Shibirekurage (1970) features Mari Atsumi in the titular role. Likened to Sam Fuller, Nicholas Ray, and Douglas Sirk by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum, Japanese New Wave veteran Masumura is known for his exaggerated visual palette and willingness to explore transgressive themes. Shibirekurage reflects both of these tendencies, as the smoking-hot Atsumi navigates through ‘70s-era Japan with an enthusiasm for unfettered sexual expression.
