Powerful depiction of the life of prostitutes in Tokyo 1955. The film was coarser, harsher than we're used to which rattled the sensibilities of the country enough that they banned the practice the following year.
This reminded me of Lizzie Borden's Working Girls in its realistic depiction of that trade although all the sexual stuff happened off camera.
Strong characters, straightforward acting and direction made this a very effective piece of agitprop.
