Akai kami no onna
The woman with red hair

The dark portrait of a young woman is regarded as the most powerful film of Kumashiro. A red-haired woman, who does not tell her name, is picked up by the construction workers Kôzô and Takao, two sexually aggressive men who had already raped her boss’s daughter. She sleeps with Kôzô in his miserable dwelling and decides to stay. Takao is also interested in sexual intercourse, and although the redhead is at first reluctant, she soon feels lust which drives Kôzô into the arms of a prostitute.
