Passions are inflamed in an elite school for girls in 1930s Japan in Yumeno Kyusaku’s Girl Hell, as two of its students find solace away from the crowd in each other’s company. But can their love flourish amongst the corrupting influence of their parents and the school’s sinister principal, whose actions transform their lives into a living hell on earth? Directed by one of the most-regarded directors of Nikkatsu’s Roman Porno erotic line, Masaru Konuma (Flower and Snake, Wife to be Sacrified), this Gothic-styled erotic nightmare adapted from a story by the “unfilmable” literary maestro Yumeno Kyusaku (Dogra Magra) is by turns sensual, surreal, horrific and otherworldly, and counts among the studio’s boldest works.
