Cult Movies
by Coco Kiyonaga

Soap Girl
Unrated, 86 min. Directed by Young Man Kang

This is the true to life story of many Asian woman who arrive in America hoping to find a new life. Soap Girl is a love story that takes place in a massage parlor.
It begins with a young girl that has no where to go and ends up finding refuge in a massage parlor working for Mamasan played by Tomiko Lee.
Mamasan is a motherly woman but only as far as it pays the rent. She is a beautiful but aging woman dependent on her gangster friend for protection and support.
When he decides that he must have the young new girl all hell breaks loose and its a whole new Asian invasion that breaks out of the silkened cocoon and emerges triumphant if only in round one. There are plenty of rollercoaster rides in this wonderful picture.
Pathos, comedy, drama, and yes a bit of horror of life on the wrong side of the track.
