Exotic Mask in Hell

The story of a high school girl, Keiko, who gets raped repeatedly by her father, but then finds love and comfort in the arms of her older brother. The lurid incest tale is somehow contorted into a beautiful excursion as director Kato fills the screen with incredible images of traditional Japan, ranging from the exotic masks of the title to remarkable shots of back streets and alleyways which seem to smell of soy-sauce and baked fish.
