Progressive for the time of its production, Kon Ichikawa’s thrilling black comedy from 1961 follows the undoing of a married TV producer and womaniser, as the women in his life join forces in conspiring to kill him.

Starring many representative figures of Japan’s silver screen, this stylish work by the director of Tokyo Olympiad is a rare treat praised by his contemporaries.

Ten Dark Women will be screened in 35mm film format.
