On this revival episode of Adventures Through Asian Cinema, your hosts Ben & Jack talk about Toshiharu Ikeda's 1984 cult classic - Mermaid Legend.

After a woman is framed for the murder of her fisherman husband, she seeks out a bloody revenge on the corrupt businessmen responsible! 

Listen as we discuss the lead actor Mari Shirato's powerful performance, the restraint and confidence the director shows, and my word - what a final act! 

As always, we urge you to check out Ben's JAPANUARY 2023 challenge, come watch some Japanese movies.
