Female Prisoner Scorpion: Beast Stable
Shunya Itô’s third film in the acclaimed Female Prisoner series is a heady mix of fierce attitude, visual potency, and unflinching violence.

Review by Lindsay Tudor
The second instalment of Itô’s Female Prisoner series remains a fascinating film that deserves to be rediscovered for its wildly inventive portrayal of an uncommon, gutsy female rebel.
Review by Virginie Sélavy
Itô’s psychedelic, offbeat direction makes his Female Prisoner films much more than politically aware exploitation movies, positioning them somewhere closer to art-house cinema than to some of their crass, demeaning counterparts in the genre.
