Skip this unless you're a devoted cinephile seeking out challenging Japanese cinema—it's a deliberately provocative, sexually explicit portrait of exploitation that prioritizes artistic transgression over narrative satisfaction, and most viewers will find it bleak and alienating rather than illuminating.
Plot
A submissive hooker goes about her trade, suffering abuse at the hands of Japanese salarymen and Yakuza types. She's unhappy about her work, and is apparently trying to find some sort of appeasement for the fact that her lover has married.
Director: Ryū Murakami
Cast: Miho Nikaido, Sayoko Amano, Tenmei Kano, Kan Mikami, Masahiko Shimada
