Gate of Flesh

In Gate of Flesh (Nikutai no Mon, 1964), a group of five prostitutes operate a brothel out of an old bombed out building in post-war Japan. They’re strict about demanding money upfront for their services, but when a suave drifter (Jo Shishido) takes shelter in their building they each risk breaking this rule to win him over at the risk of being severely punished.

Region 1, NTSC, anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1, fully restored/remastered. Japanese audio with newly-translated English subtitles. Features include interviews, stills gallery, and trailers.
