Pretty Devil Yoko(非行少女ヨーコ)

✭ ✭ ✭

Japan · 1966
1h 25m
Director Yasuo Furuhata
Starring Mako Midori, Hayato Tani, Ichiro Araki, Renji Ishibashi
Genre Drama, Crime

Easily bored, but still innocent and naive countryside girl (Mako Midori) discovers partying in Tokyo is a ton of fun. Yakuza-to-be (Ichiro Araki) is an acquaintance who tries to rape her, and the typically bland but very-good-here (Hayato Tani) the first boyfriend. Director Yasuo Furuhata (his first picture) lets his camera roll in trendy clubs amongst partying youngsters in a way that could've been out of 60s England or a Nikkatsu film if it wasn't shadowed by dated 60s Toei conservatism.The resulting film is a bit confused, either a rebellious youth tale chained by moral concerns, or something conceived as a morality tale trying to break free from its chains.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
