[edit] Plot summary
A man keeps his girlfriend tied up in his small apartment and tortures her. She is undressed, subjected to various types of bondage, whipped, and tortured with a razor blade. He also brushes her hair, applies make-up on her, and brakes down and cries in the fetal position. In the end the girl gets free and has her revenge.
At the time of it's release Wakamatsu was quoted as saying "For me, violence, the body and sex are an intergal part of life"[1]
