Wife to be Sacrificed
(1974)
by Tuna
"Ikenie fujin" is a Nikkatsu Roman Porno directed by Masaru Konuma, the
fourth such film released in the USA this month. This one stars Naomi Tani
as a flower arranging teacher whose husband ran off three years earlier
after being accused of child molesting. He returns, kidnaps her, and
subjects her to bondage, discipline and degradation, which she ends up
responding to positively, after fighting him at first. She escapes once,
only to be raped by two hunters. We see that hubby does have genuine concern
as he washes and soothes her after the rape. Then hubby finds two lovers who
have attempted a double suicide. He captures them and toys with them for a
while, all of which leads to the surprise ending.
This film was hugely popular in Japan, presumably due to the fetish
content, and its IMDb rating is the highest of the four recent releases
(Wife to Be Sacrificed, Tattooed Flower Vase, Cloistered Nun: Runa's
Confession and Erotic Diary of an Office Lady).
I am hoping that we will see more of the Pinku films, especially Roman
Pornos and Pinky Violence, coming to American DVDs soon. Of the four recent
releases, Tattooed Flower Vase is my favorite, but this one is also an excellent film in its own right,
and this is the one for you if the bondage content is your cup of tea.
