"Black Rose Mansion"
1969
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku

Famous Japanese female impersonator/singer Akihiro Maruyama, fresh from his success in Kinji Fukasaku's psychedelic Black Lizard, returns in this feverishly perverse, campy follow-up. Wealthy Kyohei (Eitaro Ozawa, A Taxing Woman, The H-Man) installs songbird "Black Rose" (Maruyama) in his elegant private men's club to bolster business. But Kyohei gets more than he bargains for when the songbird attracts scores of homicidal past lovers, and not only he, but also his ne'er-do-well son, end up falling for the femme fatale. Japanese with English subtitles. 133 minutes.
