Teruo Ishii's Chitai Series 2 - BLACK LINE (1960) - REMASTERED
Kurosen chitai – The second entry in Teruo Ishii's pulpy Chitai series is a good solid drugs, murder and prostitution thriller set in old Yokohama. Complete with white trench coat, voiceovers and deep dark shadows, this is Japan's answer to film noir.
Yamaguchi investigative reporter is hot on the trail of a Yokohama prostitution ring called ‘Black Line’ but runs into a little trouble along the way when he wakes up one morning in a cheap motel, next to the dead body of a beautiful girl, apparently strangled with his own tie.
He decides to leave the scene before the police arrive, but a planted whiskey glass and a set of fingerprints are all the authorities need. Determined to find those behind the set-up before the police can find him he goes on a hunt for the truth that will take him from the lowest depths of the Tokyo night life to the top ranks of the ‘Black Line’ operation.
