VIOLATED ANGELS
Dir. Wakamatsu Kji, 1967
Japan. 57 min.
In Japanese with English subtitles.
Forming a perfect pair with GO, GO SECOND TIME VIRGIN, this film was inspired by the Richard Speck murders in 1966 Chicago. In the real event, Speck systematically tortured, raped, and murdered eight student nurses in the South Chicago Community Hospital. A perfect example of what Yuriko Furuhata titled a "cinema of actuality", Wakamatsu used highly topical real-life events to create a stunning virtual portrayal of their occurrences. Although Wakamatsu took some creative liberties with the Speck event, the film fundamentally attempts to understand the social condition which erupts into this kind of mass killing. The result is a strangely beautiful (and ultimately political) mixed-media bloodbath that never fails to keep any audience at the edge of their seats.
