A man in debt from a bad investment has a large loan due but can't pay it. The loanshark offers to extend the loan in exchange for sex with the man's wife. He says no but the wife agrees. Further to extend the loan by several years agrees to sex with the loanshark's mentally disturbed son. After that the wife is hit by a car on her way home. The daughter is trying to make money towards paying off the loan. The husband finally commits suicide and the daughter then works harder to make money to revenge against the loanshark. The rest of the movie is towards that end which I won't give away.
This movie, Blue Film Woman is from 1969. It was reissued in 2020 with several new songs and taken from the original 1969 35mm print which survived.
This movie has some significance as it is the first Pink Eiga to be filmed entirely in color. Prior they were either black & white or only partially in color. They do make great use of color too.
The film itself is just okay. The cast was good. The story sometimes drags a bit. As a Pink Eiga film there is nudity and sex scenes but they are not erotic or explicit at all. Those scenes are directly related to the story. Some are rather disturbing. The ending didn't make complete sense until I gave a bit of thought. Even then I'm not sure. So that left me unfulfilled.
So I call this an interesting film with some social commentary built into the story. They just have a couple of scenes that went on a little long. Some scenes while important to the story and main character just were boring. A little dialogue might have lifted that. Not sure I would recommend to most people. A few may like it though.
