One of Wakamatsu’s most infamous titles, which, for the particular director’s oeuvre really says something, “Violated Angels” was his second film to screen in Cannes in 1971, along with “Sex Jack”, and followed a somewhat similar fate, by getting distribution after the festival but being banned in a number of countries.
