Sex and Fury

About This Movie

Sex and Fury is a wild ride through 1970s exploitation cinema, blending action and crime with a raw, gritty aesthetic that defines its era. The film follows Ocho, a tough heroine on a vengeance quest, as she hunts down her father’s murderers, each marked by distinct tattoos. Norifumi Suzuki’s direction creates an atmosphere that’s both chaotic and engaging, with an eclectic mix of violence and sensuality. You have this enhanced by Ocho’s encounters with Shonusuke, a radical with his own agenda. The pacing is relentless, and there’s a certain unrefined charm in the practical effects. Performances are fierce, especially from the lead, who embodies a fierce spirit against a tumultuous backdrop of political unrest and personal vendettas.
