LABYRINTH OF FLOWER GARDEN (HANAZONO NO MEIKYU; LABYRINTH ROMANESQUE), an erotic noir that appeared in 1988, is another female-centered, visually rapturous thriller. It doesn’t feature Meiko Kaji, but does star the nearly-as-captivating Yoko Shimada (of SHOGUN and CRYING FREEMAN), who’s at once menacing, authoritative and sexy.
