Bad girl Rika is released from a girls detention school where she wants a fresh life as a normal citizen in society. She winds up at a lounge bar where she finds her other former classmates working. The local villain boss is trying to acquire the lounge and basically the film is about the girls getting in trouble with drugs, boys and each other, and the owner’s struggle to keep her bar from the bad guys. However things go a bit pear-shaped and Rika must take revenge the only way she knows how: reform girl style!
I’ve been a fan of 70’s Japanese pinky violence movies for a whille. These movies are usually full of sleaze, comedic, plenty of nudity, sex and violence involving women being treated like shit until they decide to fight back in some way or the other. The peak and popularity for the genre was back in the 70’s but that doesn’t mean they’ve stopped making pinky violence movies in Japan. Oh no, they’re still being made today though they’re not as good as the classics from the 70’s.
Blossoming Night Dreams is a fun and undemanding movie to waste 90 mins. The lead Reiko Oshida whilst being cute wasn’t as cool as other bad-ass women who were in the same kind of movies during the same era such as Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike. There’s a lot of comedy in this movie which turns all serious during the last third. There are better movies in the genre to watch but it’s not too bad and it’ll give you a taste of what to expect from similar movies.
