PLAY IT COOL is a Japanese drama from 1970, in which a young woman goes to work as a hostess at a Yakuza-owned club after her mother is jailed for killing the man who raped her daughter.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man violently subdues the adult daughter of his girlfriend in order to rape her. Two men grab and strip a woman to her underwear, before forcing her into a bedroom where a man states his intention to have sex with her; the woman escapes this encounter but is subjected to further sexual threat when a man kicks and beats her. There are verbal references to rape, sexual assault and sexually abusive behaviour.
additional issues
There is a bloody stabbing. A woman is kicked and beaten by men on different occasions, one of whom attempts to strangle her. Men threaten a woman, grabbing her forcefully by the hair, and there are scenes of knife threat. A man vigorously kisses and caresses a woman as they roll together on a bed; sex is implied. Characters discuss sex together as they lie in bed, sometimes in states of undress. There are references to sex work, pimps and brothels, and a woman plays poker with men, who are permitted to have sex with her if they win. There is sexualised breast nudity and sight of topless women in photographs and posters. There is moderate bad language ('bitch', 'whore') and milder terms which include 'bullshit' and 'hell'. A woman threatens to tale her own life, but this does not appear to be serious in intent.
