CineSavant’s @charliehillart6 reviews the recent #Criterion Blu-ray release of #AnActorsRevenge. The story of a female impersonator’s vengeful killing spree, #KonIchikawa’s 1963 film boasts a plot line John Waters would surely appreciate!

Holy cow. @Criterion’s Feb 2018 release slate is on fire. They’re delicious. #NightoftheLivingDead #SilenceoftheLambs #TomJones #ElevatortotheGallows #AnActorsRevenge #TheHero (1966)
