白い野獣 poster

Released in 1950, 白い野獣 is a drama film directed by Mikio Naruse, running about 97 minutes.

What it’s about. The critical establishment was clearly not prepared to accept a woman's prison film featuring former prostitutes recovering from venereal diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and estranged lovers. With its cat fights, hysterical tantrums, film noir lighting, and dramatic music, White Beast is indicative of the new influences of the Hollywood psychological thriller on Naruse. Caged (John Cromwell, 1950) initiated a cycle of women's prison movies in the United States that may or may not have been shown in Japan, but the stylistics of White Beast draw on the same paranoid woman's films and film noir conventions that preceded the American cycle.

Who’s in it. 白い野獣 stars Mitsuko Miura, Sō Yamamura, Eiji Okada and Kimiko Iino, among others.
