MEIKO KAJI: UNDER THE SIGN OF SCORPION. Watch The Trailer For The Upcoming Doc

Paris based director Yves Montmayeur has carved out quite a niche for himself with an extensive filmography of acclaimed, film-related documentaries. His 2013 Michael Haneke focused effort - Michael H Profession: Director - is something of an anomaly in Montmayeur's work in that it casts its eye on a European talent rather than to Asia but the director of Pinku Eiga: Inside The Pleasure Dome Of Japanese Erotic Cinema, Johnnie Got His Gun, In The Mood For Doyle and Electric Yakuza Go To Hell returns to his regular stomping ground of Asian cult cinema with his upcoming Meiko Kaji: Under The Sign Of Scorpion.

The subject, of course, is iconic Japanese actress Kaji Meiko, leading lady in the Female Convict Scorpion and Lady Snowblood films - among others - and while the just released teaser for the film offers up little clue as to Montmayeur's approach to his subject it is at least enough to get fans excited. Take a look below.
