Teruo Ishii's Long-Supressed S&M Classic is Finally Available UNCUT

       

director: Teruo Ishii
starring: Teruo Yoshida · Masumi Tachibana · Asao Koike · Yumiko Katayama · Mieko Fujimoto

   

Director Teruo Ishii's cold, no-nonsense approach to sadistic behavior makes this film all the more aberrant. Originally released as part of his Joys of Torture series (1968-73), these projects were known as "Ero-Gro" (Erotic Grotesque), a term still used today in Japan to describe the most perverse of the S&M genre. In these films, the reason for the torture isn't as important as the punishment itself. The themes are decidedly misogynist with lots of whipping, stretching, strapping, pierce, beating, thrashing and various stages of suspension, bondage, incarceration, bastinado for any number of reasons. But without exception, the victims are exclusively female.

"Inferno of Torture" (original title: Tokugawa Irezumi-Shi: Seme Jigoku [Tokugawa Tattoo History: Torture Hell]) opens and closes with multiple crucifixions and graphic tortures. Sandwiched in-between is a plot dealing with enslaved prostitutes living in Edo's Yoshiwara district. Besides turning the occasional trick, they are preoccupied with their tattoos and an upcoming contest to decide which brothel has the best.
