Woman Revenger + The Women's Revenge + Intro
Ouyang Chun, the director of Never Too Late to Repent continued his connection to the Taiwan Black Cinema cycle with this outrageous entry in 1982.
Ling, a dance teacher living in Hong Kong, heads to Japan to investigate the murder of her childhood friend. Throw in a vicious bunch of gangsters and a batch of stolen cocaine and you have something of an exploitation classic.
The 17 minute short film The Women’s Revenge, will screen before the feature.
Prior to Taiwan’s lifting of martial law, a group of films influenced by the European wave of exploitation movies featuring the motif of “women’s revenge” was produced in the 1980s.
These films portray some severely oppressed heroines before culminating in bloody plots of vengeance. The Women’s Revenge uses Taiwanese exploitation movies as a starting point to reexamine the problems of body regulation, seeking social novelty, modern discomforts and mediatised bodies.
It also discusses how plots based on feminism have been turned into exploitation movies, reflects on the misunderstanding and exploitation of female sexuality in the system of image, and exposes how the contemporary body is manipulated by image technologies.
This screening will be introduced by Andy Willis, Season Curator and Senior Visiting Curator: Film at HOME.
