The Women's Revenge(2020)

The Women's Revenge is a 2020 Taiwanese film that reimagines the female revenge exploitation genre that flourished in Taiwan during the early 1980s. Director Su Hui-Yu draws from that era's pulp cinema tradition to craft a contemporary fantasy of bloody retribution. Part of Hui-Yu's "Re-shooting" series, the film revisits Taiwan's martial law period of the 1970s and 1980s, excavating forgotten stories from that turbulent time. The result blends historical reflection with genre thrills, exploring how cinema once channeled women's rage and resistance during an authoritarian era.
