The Story

An in-demand golfer and model is manipulated and controlled by the men in her life, following a hit and run accident she is blackmailed by a stalker.

The editor of a sports magazine grooms fashion model Reiko (Yoko Shiraki) to become a pro golfer, while retaining exclusive rights to her likeness. Reiko's popularity soars after she wins her first tournament and she becomes a media sensation, but when she and her manager (Yoshio Harada, Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman) cause a hit-and-run accident, the victim begins to blackmail Reiko, intruding further and further into her personal life.

This was Seijun Suzuki's comeback film after being blacklisted by the film industry for ten years. Though adapted from a popular manga, the bold visuals and absurdist plot twists are vintage Suzuki.
