1979 Film Editorial note

Angel Guts: Nami

Original title: 天使のはらわた 名美

Also known as Tenshi no Harawata: Nami

Language Japanese

Noboru Tanaka's third Angel Guts film follows a magazine journalist whose investigation of sexual-assault survivors becomes an increasingly troubling personal obsession. It adapts Takashi Ishii's manga.

Bondage and fetish performance appear within the film's exploration of images, voyeurism and sexual violence. Its place in the Angel Guts cycle connects manga and late-1970s Roman Porno; it is a fictional representation, not a record of contemporary rope practice.
