Orgies of Edo (1969, Teruo Ishii)


The first of three stories involves a woman forced into prostitution, the next a woman turned on by unattractive men who has threesomes with dwarves. Her admirer disfigures himself so she will like him. The third features a sadistic and powerful man who has bulls with flaming horns charge into a courtyard of women wearing red who are forced to strip to avoid being gored. This one ends in a very graphic way which I will not ruin. Other than pink eiga/pinky violence films it is comparable Salo in its mixture of high production values, decent acting, well written dialogue and sadistic beauty. The most creatively perverse film I have seen in a long time.
4/5
Torrent with fansub by glopglop and lordretsudo (who did an awesome job)
