Watch White Beast For Free
White Beast
The critical establishment was clearly not prepared to accept a woman's prison film featuring former prostitutes recovering from venereal diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and estranged lovers. With its cat fights, hysterical tantrums, film noir lighting, and dramatic music, White Beast is indicative of the new influences of the Hollywood psychological thriller on Naruse. Caged (John Cromwell, 1950) initiated a cycle of women's prison movies in the United States that may or may not have been shown in Japan, but the stylistics of White Beast draw on the same paranoid woman's films and film noir conventions that preceded the American cycle.

Reviews
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
