I had never heard about this 1973 Japanese movie titled "Furyô Anego Den: Inoshika Ochô" (aka "Sex & Fury") prior to stumbling upon it here in 2023. And with it being an Asian movie that I wasn't already familiar with, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.
However, I have to say that this movie was sort of a swing and a miss from director Norifumi Suzuki, in terms of entertaining me. In fact, I even dozed off once along the 88 minutes that the movie ran for. Writers Masahiro Kakefuda, Ikuo Sekimoto, Teruo Ishii, Tarô Bonten and Norifumi Suzuki just didn't manage to compile a script and storyline that had much appeal for my preference in entertainment, though I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as this.
The acting performances in "Furyô Anego Den: Inoshika Ochô" were fair enough, though I have to say that given the lack of interesting contents to the storyline, then I wasn't really paying all that much attention to the happenings on the screen. I wasn't familiar with the cast, given the fact that this movie was made 2 years prior to me being born.
It was the excessive amount of pointless nudity and sex scenes that sort of killed the movie for me, as it is not something I am overly interested in watching when I sit down to watch a movie.
Visually then "Furyô Anego Den: Inoshika Ochô" was okay. The movie does show signs of being 50 years old, keep that in mind.
My rating of "Furyô Anego Den: Inoshika Ochô" lands on a three out of ten stars.
