The Notorious Concubines [DVD]

Description

She's a monster in women's clothing! Not satisfied with being a 13th-century housewife, unscrupulous Chin Lien tries to exchange her rice salesman of a husband for his more attractive brother, captain of the guard Wu Sun. Rebuffed, she proceeds to Plan B: poison her husband and begin a lusty affair with wealthy, decadent Men Ching, played by future director Juzo Itami (A Taxing Woman). While Wu Sung goes on a murderous rampage and Chin Lien celebrates by becoming Men Ching's fifth wife, the lecherous husband marries Wife Number 6 and drowns himself in drunken orgies. As the country descends into anarchy, Wu Sung and his one-time sister-in-law finally meet for a bloody reunion! Awash in sex, violence, and brutality, this wicked art-house exploitation epic is stylishly directed by Koji Wakamatsu, the controversial director of such Japanese cult hits as "Ecstasy of the Angels" and "Go, Go, Second Time Virgin."
