Sinekatalog’s take

Keisuke Kinoshita's comedy, Japan's first colour feature, has a stripper returning to her mountain village and scandalising the locals. Hideko Takamine is hilarious in a bright, satirical and affectionate tale about modernity versus tradition.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
