Dorei-sen

This is based on a story from Oniroku Dan who wrote many novels and screenplays with an S&M theme. Here the story centers on an author of S&M themed novels (maybe a little biographical? Or maybe not!) that also is involved with a slave ship. The ship is just a boat in Tokyo harbor where demonstrations of S&M as well as auctions for an encounter with the slave. But the slave ship is not the main focus. The author has a sexy assistant although they mainly tease each other. The author and assistant then travel to a inn where he had a relationship tho not sexual, with the innkeeper's wife. The wife has gotten involved with another man who likes to play S&M games. That's as much as I will give away.

The characters are interesting and you get to know enough about all of them so the story makes sense. This is a Pink Eiga film so there is nudity and sex scenes as well as S&M. They are a part of the story and characters. Some are very erotic but the rest of the story is more interesting.

Kyoko Aizome plays the innkeeper's wife. She was also a well-known AV actress including what is considered the first (though censored) Japanese hardcore film, Daydream in 1981. She is very good in this film as is the rest of the cast.

I really enjoyed this film. You don't have to be a fan of Pink Eiga to enjoy it. There is much more to it. Give it a watch!
