Violated Angels

1967 · 56 min

A cold, claustrophobic descent into madness and sexual violence, told with minimalist precision and unsettling detachment.

Overview: Based on the mass murder spree of Richard Speck in 1966, a young man who broke into a nurses’ home in Chicago, mutilating and killing several of the inmates, Wakamatsu’s film is a precise, sad delineation of a particular aspect of masculine sexual consciousness.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and eerie. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Violence, gender, madness, death
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
