A 1960s riff on the opera Carmen (including a rock version of its famous aria Habanero), this picaresque tale sends its heroine from the countryside to Osaka and Tokyo in search of success as a singer. Her journey is fraught with exploitation and abuse at the hands of nefarious menuntil Carmen seeks revenge. Mixing comedy, biting social commentary and director Seijun Suzukis customarily outrageous stylistic flourishes, this fast-paced gem is an overlooked classic from his creative late period at Nikkatsu Studios.
