Film - Simon, King of the Witches 1971

Exploitation hokum with a great performance by Andrew Prine.

Kanashimi no Belladonna (1973) - Film

Very very strange exploitation, occult, porn, animation that is somehow superb! Men come out of this very badly indeed (the sad excuse for a husband in particular). I don't want to spoil the surprises and spectacular artwork, because it is all about pacing. It starts very slowly, and is very down and depressing (and feminists will blow a gasket, with no little justification!) but stick with it because there are reasons for this. It's loosely based on a book called The Witch, and the Director (Eiichi Yamamoto) was seriously into Aubrey Beardsley at the time. If you can get past the muck this is a cult-classic.
