Commentaire à la une
'Blind Woman's Curse (1970)' is a bit of a mishmash of genres, a female yakuza semi-exploitation movie by way of early J-horror such as 'Kuroneko (1968)'. It's the first starring role for the piercingly beautiful Meiko Kaji and it showcases her steely gaze, strong constitution, gentle strength and capacity to kick ass right out of the gate; it's easy to see why she became such an icon. The film is mostly successful despite the disjointed nature of its relatively loose narrative, kept afloat by a bevy of colourful side characters and the never-quite-delivered-on promise of powerful otherworldly intervention. It establishes itself as an interesting endeavor right from its opening titles, which play over a battle that ensues after the lead reveals her gang's dragon tattoo which slithers its way across all of their backs. The narrative's most intriguing elements are relegated to the background for a lot of its runtime, but even the standard gang v gang stuff is compelling enough for what it is. Everything comes to a head in a brilliant final movement which begins with a striking sequence of a gang's march to war in front of an ominous blue sky, proceeds to feature several stabbings and slashings which spew geysers of ruby red blood, and ends with a one-on-one battle set in a surrealist arena marked by strange swirling clouds and the heavy presence of long-held hate. It's a really strong note on which to end and it makes up for the flick's slower portions towards its midsection. Still, this ultimately isn't as good as some of the films it obviously heavily inspired ('Lady Snowblood (1973)', for instance) and almost feels like a fairly standard entry in its specific subgenre. It has all the right elements but doesn't quite combine them in the most potent way. It's an enjoyable but relatively forgettable affair.
