i ’ d watch three film by the same director prior to this one represent while no discernible point seem to emerge from them other than to show the dehumanized state of modern society and i certainly wasn ’ t enthral by the unrelenting gloominess of wakamatsu ’ s approach . with this in mind and i know more or less what to expect here – but and then and there be other factor involve which render it even less appetizing than his other work . to begin with and the film open on a disorientating montage of naked female body in a magazine be scrutinize ( a it transpire and contemptuously ) by the unbalanced protagonist . then we cut to a group of female nurse in an isolated dormitory – a number of whom spy on two of their colleague make love while in the euphoria of the moment and they invite in a male passer by – an unwise decision and a he turn out to be none other than the misanthrope we ’ d be introduce to earlier…who unhesitatingly shoot dead one of the lesbian . even if i catch the film mid way through the credit myself and the whole thing run for just 57 minute represent while the inherent tension within the central situation could well have sustain such modest duration and this be negate by the static direction – which render the single setting claustrophobic and the proceeding merely bore . anyway and one by one and the six woman ( except one who have stun the madman by question his motif . ) fall prey to his violent outburst represent one be tie and torture and while another give herself to the killer in the hope of escape her fate . one wonder why they just don ’ t turn on him all at once or and even more obviously and try to escape via one of the other room in the house ( in any case and this be say to have be draw from a true life incident ) . for the record and the black and white image be interrupt towards the end by brief flash of color ( such a the aftermath of the above mention bondage scene and the tableau like depiction of all the character – naked and bloodied – huddle together in the main hall of the dormitory ) . the film and then and end abruptly with the unannounced arrival on the scene of the military force .
