A three
character story [Kiyomi Ito plays twins]. A psychologist loves S&M.
His wife doesn't like the abuse and his obsession with it. She leaves
him. Her younger twin sister shows up. She's a masochist, thus the perfect
partner for him. Or is she?
Much
has been written - both pro and con - about director Hisayasu Sato and
his bitter, sledgehammer cinematic style. [See an exclusive interview
in Asian
Cult Cinema magazine #34.] His 50+ movies are loaded with
disenfranchised people, lonely victims of urban paranoia, desperately
trying to communicate but not knowing how.
Often,
his films are difficult to watch, filled with savage brutality, rape
and sexual abuse. He says these images are used symbolically to "emphasize
loftier concerns about alienation" but his critics say 'dark
ultra-violence is the only message, simply atrocity as entertainment.'
His best known films are LOLITA
VIBRATOR TORTURE and ABNORMAL
UGLY ABUSE. In the horror arena, he helmed SPLATTER!
NAKED BLOOD.
