Norifumi Suzuki: The Resurrection of Sukeban

Japan, 2016
Director: Norifumi Suzuki
Starring: Yumi Takigawa

Cover image features Yumi Takigawa from Suzuki's nunsploitation classic School of the Holy Beast (1974). Festival features many classics such as Sex & Fury (1973), and Star of David: Beauty Hunting (1979). I assume "Sokubun" is the Japanese-English spelling of "Sukeban".
