Dr
Yoko Nogguchi is a successful plastic surgeon with a peculiar patient,
a psychologically unbalanced young woman named Yoshie. She is everything
that Yoko is not: ugly, self-conscious, and timid. However - somehow -
she does have a lot of cash for reconstructive surgery. Dr Yoko, realizing
a huge windfall, agrees to work after-hours on Yoshie's face after-hours.
But when the face is not enough, the surgeon gets caught-up in Yoshie's
delusions and things go off-the-rails. The two lead actresses have both
enjoyed careers in Japanese cult films, Yasuzo Masmurmura starred in DEATH
PENALTY.COM and TALES
OF THE UNUSUAL, while Asuka Kurosawa is best known for SNAKE
OF JUNE. This movie is based on the controversial book by feminist
Kei Yuikawa.
Before
director Katsuya Matsumura became known for his stark nihilistic horror,
he was a respected award-winning documentary filmmaker. After graduating
from college in 1985, Katsuya made a movie about the pollution problem
in Japan's Doroku district. It which won the grand prize at the Mainichi
Film Festival in 1988. He used the award movie to finance ALL
NIGHT LONG (1992). In late '94, he began
researching and shooting the grisly CONCETE-ENCASED
HIGH SCHOOL GIRL MURDER CASE. While working on that film he also
directed a fictionalize account of that ghastly murder, released later
as ALL
NIGHT LONG 2: ATROCITY. The All Night Long franchise
continued successfully into 2009 (see ALL
NIGHT LONG 3, ALL
NIGHT LONG 4: INITIAL O, ALL
NIGHT LONG 5 [R] and ALL
NIGHT LONG 6: ANYONE AT RANDOM).
