Ferocious, captivating, rebellious, and impossible to forget, Meiko Kaji is an enduring icon of Japanese exploitation cinema. This week on the Outskirts Film Podcast, we dive headfirst into her world of tattooed yakuza and knife-fighting prisoners, discuss her classic songs and struggle to describe icy stares that make blood cold. From girl gang boss to vengeful assassin, Kaji defined the enigmatic heroine of 1970s Japanese cinema and starred in a half dozen of the era’s most exemplary films. As Japan Society kicks off a full-blown retrospective of her work on March 27, we’re celebrating Meiko Kaji’s powerful screen presence.
