About Rope Sisters: Strange Fruit
Muraki is a failure in his job as a salesman and has to deal with his wife's disappointment and criticism at home. One day, after sleeping in a park, he happens upon two women who look like they've been victims of a sexual assault. He helps them but as night comes an increasingly twisted mindgame unfolds between the involved parties and it is no longer certain who's the victim and who's the perpetrator.
Directed by Shun Nakahara, Rope Sisters: Strange Fruit leans on a strong ensemble — Toshiyuki Kitami, Makoto Yoshino, Hiromi Saotome — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1984.
