A young gangster named
Shinzo gets involved in a plot to kill and rob the Big Boss of their clan.
After the hit, he and Seiji - a mid-range Yakuza torpedo - plan to meet
at seashore theater (run by Seiji's girlfriend, Fumi). The problem is
Shinzo is addicted to both sex and heroin, making the journey to oceanside
a bit unwieldy.
The 'Pearl'
in the title refers to the fact that Shinzo has a practice of cutting
his penis (with a razorblade) see photo above) and inserting pearls permanently
inside, presumably to make him a better lover. The 'Rape' and 'Kill'
are - of course - obvious.
This tawdry slice
of erotica is a rare, early project from director Kazuyuki Izutsu. He
started his career with youth oriented sex-films, usually with emphasis
on street gangs or young Yakuza gangsters. Today, Mr Izutsu is considered
one of the best Japanese directors, winning numerous Industry awards for
many mainstream hits (especially for his Delinquent Empire [Gaki
eikoku, 1981], Kishiwada Delinquent Gang [Kishiwada Shonen
Gurentai, 1996] and Break Through! [Pacchigi, 2004],
all of which won Japan's coveted Best Picture awards.
