It is a story based on the real life 1936 sex scandal that was a big deal in Japan. It is a fine study of sexual obsession. However, please only watch the uncut subtitled version. We made the mistake of buying the dubbed version of the DVD and it takes away too much of the sensuality that sucks you in. |
I watched that one over 10 years ago, Sarah. If I recall it really goes all the way, and shows a castration, and lots of choking until losing consciousness during sex. I remember thinking, "Fuck this is a brutal movie!" It took no prisoners, but really delved into the depths of, like you said, sexual obsession.
