"Wife To Be Sacrificed"
1974
Directed by Masaru Konuma

This legendary offering of Japanese erotica is considered one of the essential films from the golden age of "pink" cinema--sex films with high production values. Naomi Tani, the queen of Japanese S&M movies, stars as a woman who charges her husband with sexual battery. He escapes from police custody to kidnap his wife and "discipline" her. The wife grows to enjoy the torture and the couple reunites to seek out new victims. "The early sado films of Masaru Konuma are well-scripted, stylishly directed and singularly harrowing. This one is easily his best" (Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films). Japanese with English subtitles.  70 minutes.
