A Female Detective Investigates S&M Brutality on an Illegal Website
2014's Flower and Snake Motion Picture

director: Hajime Hashimoto
starring: Maiko Amano · Noriko Hamada · Rina Sakuragi · Naoli Kawano · Yuichi Kimura · Hideo Sakaki

This film (also known as FLOWER AND SNAKE: ZERO [REBOOT]) is 2014's entry in Oniroku Dan's wildly popular S&M franchise, a series that began with Naomi Tani in the lead role, FLOWER AND SNAKE 1974. In reality, this is the 9th official film (not counting the anime series) inspired by Dan's erotic book. In many ways, this one may be the most satisfying of them all because it succeeds on so many levels. Maiko Amano plays Tokyo police detective Misaki, investigating an illegal S&M website which features abducted young women. She goes undercover as a sex slave but soon finds herself bound, tortured and fighting for her life.

Director Hajime Hashimoto had specialized in crime movies before helming this project. And, although he is most diligent in his zeal to deliver S&M eroticism, he also brings a welcomed air of action to the production. For example, when was the last time you saw a naked heroine pull a gun hidden in her snatch? It happens here (see below right).

A Japanese production; widescreen (16:9), totally uncut version (113 min.), in Japanese language with English subtitles, DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC, playable on any American machine. Extras include theatrical trailers.
